Picked up a few things to share...

Three early U-Needa-Pak machines, two cigarette and a candy machine which is second from the right.
A 50's National cigarette
Two U-Select-It machines: the tan rusted one I picked up just before I left, the other my uncle purchased for me.
And a cool Good-Grape sign that isn't dated, but could be from the late 30's - early 40's ... All the lettering is embossed too

Dragged home a few other things the wife couldn't leave behind...

All in all, it's good to get out ! ! !

They seem to be around up here in New England quite s bit. Any idea where they are from?

And nice haul, but I would expect a stoner or 12 unless you already have them all from your last trip.

The need a packs are awesome looking machines.  The U select it happens to be my favorite color for their choice of paint schemes.  Not the the white/rust one.  Love the gree/blue on those.

Thanks everyone ! ! !

Tim, the U-Needa's came from the New England area

Shane, I'm not sure which ones will get restored at this point, but I do want to keep one of the U-Select machines and the U-Needa-Pak candy machine

And Leonard, I had to have the sign shop re-cut the decals so they should be back next week... I very slight flaw showed up so they are re-doing them!

Anyone have any input on the "Good-Grape" sign as far as year of manufacture...?

I really like that "U Needa Pak" candy machine too... Not much chance of one surfacing over here.

Hello Jeff

I had one made for one of mine. It was not expensive. I'd look for a fabricator close by.
