This soda fountain was part of the 1893 World's Fair Columbian Exhibition in Chicago. Built by the Liquid Carbonic Co., the backbar is mostly onyx with black and green variegated marble column caps and trim. The Schmidt family purchased it in 1976. Estimated value before auction: $75,000 and $125,000. it sold for $4.5 million.

Not a machine, but a beautiful piece of Coca-Cola history. I strongly suggest doing an internet search, the pics I was able to find were all too high res to get a decent one on here.........................................
