The seller using the term "holy grail of soda machines" leads me to believe this one will not go cheap

If it's "The Holy Grail" do we need to bring him a shrubbery?

I think a 56 has to be up there, close to the top. In my humble opinion in the top five..

Agreed!  That's why I am passing this along as I'm sure my wife wouldn't keep me around if I bought it!!  lol.

You're welcome.  I hope you or someone else here can snag it at a fair price.

Sellers name is Jim.  He called me back and we talked for a while. Nice older guy...knows what he has.

He has 2 of them (Bookends as he calls them). One is a 1952, the other a 1953.  They are slightly different according to Jim.

He wants 3k for each of them.  I said they go for around 2k in the condition they are in.

He said then he'll wait and drag them to Chicago in Nov and get 3k.
  
After all, they are the Holy Grail.
