Please help... i need info.

I was just given a Vendo 63 Coca-Cola machine.
Model No. H63 A / Serial No. 903 2288
Can anyone tell me what year it was manufactured and approximate value?
Needs some minor cosmetic work but otherwise is in great working condition.

I believe the Vendo 63 went into production in '59 and lasted until '61.
Values can fluctuate due to rarity, condition, completeness and does everything function properly.  Not seeing the condition and going on nothing is missing and all is functioing properly, I think a nice V-63 is between $400 - $550.  All things considered, a value could be a little more or a little less...

Jim, your right  for 1959 but they ran till 1966 in to
the Stylestar series with all that wood grain and
the light that bows out.   '>

Thank you for the replies. Everything I've found points at that time period. I came across a picture with some info on one that looks identical to mine... it was a 1962. (they list it as a Vendo V-63-ss) Anyway, it's a pretty nice looking machine... all red and white with a flat illuminated Coca-Cola sign. (Thank God there's no wood grain! -I'm not overly fond of that look.)  '>

Thanx again for the help.  (I just wish you had told me it was worth more.) '>

One of the best looking Vendo 63's ever produced in my opinion was the Dr Pepper Queen Anne. It came with a Victorian style light up sign. It also came with engraved trim and leg stands.

Note: I have also seen this machine listed as a Vendo 64. As far as I know this is not accurate. Any opinions?
Thanks
