Just sharing a couple of photos of this N.O.S. Tom's machine I recently purchased...
I bought it from the grandson of the gentleman that bought it new back in the early 60's & never used it!
The four legs, bottom compartment, bag of bolts, and coin box were in the original box that is in poor condition.
I am the person that put this machine together for the first time in 45+ years ! ! !
It has two imperfections and I had to get a key made as the original owner lost them... Sadly, the new key doesn't open the top,but I'll get this taken care of...

Thanks everyone!
I think it's very cool too!
Very cool taking the original nuts/bolts out of the original cloth bag and assembling the machine!

Looks Great!
Can any modern product and it's packaging be used for vending?
My Tom's 5 select model can vend peanut butter crackers from the center column; this machine appears to have capabilities to vend the same crackers from multiple columns...

Tom's machines aren't my thing, but N.O.S., I had to buy it! And to think the machine had been up for a couple of days before I found it... Thanks Leonard!

Great looking machine!  You should sand-blast and do it up as a Lay's Pototo Chip machine.  biggrin Cool laugh

Just kidding of course.  Nice find and cool to hear that there are still products out there that it can vend.
