I bought this Christmas day believe it or not ! ! !
An Original New Old Stock Tom's Peanut Sandwich/Crackers Machine ! ! !
Seller states his grandfather purchased in the early 60's to put in the shop, but never did... The box for the upper section was beyond saving and was discarded years ago; the original box for the lower cabinet, legs, coin box and hardware is there as you can see in the photo. Fortunately, it's a 7 select model and not the larger 9 selection version...
I'm not the biggest Tom's Machine collector/fan, but when you can acquire a NOS Machine; you buy it ! ! !

Jim , Great machine !!! I tryed for a week to get ahold of the seller when it was on e-bay with no luck  then after a couple more days I get an message saying she sold it while it was listed local . I really wanted it because it was made in Cincinnati where I'm from . I think the price was great . Enjoy it . Leonard |

Sweet Find! I saw one about 2 years ago...I really like the looks of them.
The one I saw was a 5 pull...
Great Find Jim!

The one I saw was a 5 pull... Jared, You probably should have bought it if it was in good shape! The Sheppard Junior, as it's referred to, does not show up often and is very compact/small... |

Jared,

The Sheppard Junior, as it's referred to, does not show up often and is very compact/small...
It's still available...what is a fair price to pay? Do you have any literature on these units? Thanks... |

I love these machines. Saw one in the flesh once and fell in love with it. Are they very heavy?  Dave |

It's still available...what is a fair pride to pay? Do you have any literature on these units? I'm not an expert in anyway on these machines but do know I missed one on ebay last year that sold for just over $400; I paid $400 for mine (photo below) but favor the all red or all white paint style and machines that appear to be unaltered... Meaning a machine that has all 5 cent decals or all 10 cent decals; not a 10 c machine that has 5 cent decals too... The one Jared posted probably has 5 cent decals on the sides but has 10 cent on the front which leads me to think the machine has been converted/updated from 5 cents... The only documentation I have is a hard-cover book titled, "Back Home Where We Belong". It has a small chapter on vending machines. And Dave, I think these Juniors weigh around 80lbs - 100lbs... |

picked up a junior a while ago, but then also picked up a vintage poster which is pretty cool. Does anyone know the type of snacks to put in these machines? I can't find any vintage pictures of what use to go in these machines. I have tried the six and four pack crackers in the narrow slots, but after you stack a few they just fall on top of each other. Maybe these originally came in some sort of small boxes or I am just missing something?

I do remember getting them in a little box (open on the top) that was wrapped in cellophane way back when. Jim |

I have an old 5 cent lace cracker machine. It was made to take the four pk. of crackers. Only problem they used to be a cube pack four crackers right on top of each other. They quit making these around 1965.

That is interesting on how they use to pack them, but explains how they worked in these machines. Anyone that has one of these machines now had any success loading them with anything?

Yes they took square pack cookies which are not made any more. Here are some pics of machines I have in original paint.

Seems to me like a tough buy unless something could be used to stock it. A very neat piece though...if I found one for the right price I'm sure I would snatch it up...

Ever since Hostess went bust can't get any Twinkies or Ding Dongs around here.
Upsetting, but the "Little Debbie" Brand appears to be ponying up clone products.
Life continue's...
