Vintage 40s ART DECO Dugrenier FRESH CANDY Vending Machine

[rayg]

Not a bad looking machine, but it looks a Stoner knock off of it's day, they even have the "Fresh Candy"  sign.

Too far from me but it does look like a national and a stoner got to together and this happened.

Thanks for posting!
Not interested, but you've answered a longing question of mine.
Bought a NOS Dugrenier mech off eBay a while back, but didn't know what machine it went to....until now!

If you look at the header on the machine it's actually plastic. They used the same machine for cigarettes as candy, just changed the insert.

And also, its a 50's machine. Not 40's......sorry

I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand. I'm sure with a little love and magic she could turn a few heads.

Not for $700.

Does anyone know if all Dugrenier candy and cigarette machines were the same machines just setup for either one?

[TomFromJersey]

Not all machines were, but this specific style certainly was. I've seen this specific style with two different size selections, I beleive they may have been 9 and 12. These machines usually are found in the Northeast as Dugrenier was from Haverhill, MA. They made some killer cigarette machines in the 40's and also the large single column vendor that was prior to the U-Selects.
