whats my 1947 canteen stoner jr worth

[coke_and_stuff]

Ive bought and sold 2 Jrs in the last 3 months, I sold both of them for $500 each thats a fair price to the buyer and the seller. I maybe could have gotten more but would probably be still sitting on them.

trust me you wouldnt want me to do any body work...if anybody finds a good deal on one of these in the northeast please let me know

canteen is a distribution company it is still in business today I believe they hired stoner to build machine for them. supposedly they destroyed most of the machines so that no 1 else could use them if so I would think this 1 would be more valuable.

It is not embossed Canteen - I wouldn't value it much higher than a nice condition Stoner.
Have you taken the mirror off? Any indication that the mirror is as old as the machine?

[Tomygunz7]

Were stoner machines embossed with canteen this early? I see no evidence that the mirror is not original to the machine. I have not removed it out of fear that it will become damaged. The writting is not a sticker on the outside of the mirror but inside.

That is a nice Stoner Junior but I have never seen one with a Canteen mirror on it.  Curtis is probably the guy who can solve the mystery of a Stoner with a Canteen mirror.

The Canteen vending machines where styled differently than the Stoners.  See this thread:

Still a nice machine and I agree that in that condition, $500 would be an average price although I have seen them go higher.  Restored properly it can go for a lot more!

I beleive I have the Same Mirror at home that I found at a fea market , I own the 40s Model Embossed Steel Canteen 6 push & A 30s Canteen Gum Vendor .The Smaller Canteen Candy  One monted on a Pipe stand 5 Push  & Used Stainless Steel Lettering Is From the 30-40s

They May Have Had A Mirror Made To Install on the Stoner At one Time ?

[Tomygunz7]

Ltransam by embossed do you mean that it is stamped into the metal of the machine? That's pretty cool if so.

Mznb1u thanks! Im thinking I'm going to take it apart this weekend and start restoring it. It doesn't look to hard to take apart and should be gun. I'm really curious about the mirror now.

If you decide to take it apart, take pictures, lots and lots of pictures. Months from now, or weeks , you will have something to check how it all comes back together

[Tomygunz7]

yes thank you I definitely plan on that.  from what it looks like there's only 2 bolts on the top and two bolts on the bottom and the whole inside  comes out 1 piece?
