Vintage 5 Cent Candy Machine

I am looking at some 5 cent candy machines that are floor models that look like they might be from the 30's. They stand about 6 feet tall, maybe less, and have a mirror. National is one brand and another is U-Select or U-Vend.
Anybody have any of these type machines?

Both National & U Select are mentioned all the time on this forum. If you do a search you will find a wealth of information.
I currently have 2 x U Selects and 2 x Nationals.

Sorry, no pics. Both have a small round/oval mirror face height with an art deco style. Ballpark value for machines of this age?

Pictured is a U-Needa Candy machine that has some of the features you describe.
As far as a value without seeing what you have, I'll base my price range on the model pictured...
My estimation would be between $300 - $600

Shot fired, and DIRECT HIT!
That's the machine. Original unrestored condition. Next question, parts? OK, now stop laughing. What is the age of this machine?

Parts will be difficult to locate!
I do not know manufacture dates, but would guess mid to late 1930's - 1940's
Is the original condition similar to this machine pictured...?

From memory, looks very similar. (I have a great memory, but it's short.)
