I thinks it's an early grade stoner, it's very similar to my 1941 Theatre, same chrome trim around the mirror, same base on the bottom, note the two stainless steel foots, and the coin return knob is the same as my '41. It's rare, I believe Jim on SMC has a similar version, early grade Stoner Junior. These were probably built around 1941, from '41-'46, the Stoner factory was converted to wartime production.

Well Done.. I think for $800 you'd easily get your money back if you had to. No shipping either.

I have one just like it.
However, mine does not have any "Stoner" identification; only Univendor which dates it before any company merger.
I cannot see the glass on your machine so I posted mine for reviewing both the knobs and display glass.
Is there anyway to detect if your machine has been repainted...? It looks extremely clean!
Congrats ! ! !

Jim, the coin return does read "Stoner Manufacturing" in fine print at the bottom. I think these machines are cool. They probably exist in far fewer numbers because they were made in much smaller qualities/shorter time period before WWII and they weren't as practical - - no change dispensing, harder to replace display candy (spring loaded trays can be a pain), and the machines open in a clam shell orientation. The lower shell must be supported in order to load candy.

I have to go back and pick it up , as I said I bought it over the phone this afternoon. I called when they opened today and they told me there was no such machine and the lady went and looked and said it came in yesterday . I looked it over good but when I get it home I will open it up and take a good look . Thanks for the comments , it does work so I hope the inside looks as good as outside.
