I thought this might be a fun topic..
What do you guys see still in service out there... For me, there is a 5 & 10 store in my home town that still has two 10 cent Ride Sandy Horses... One
was uncrated new when my grandmother worked there back in the late 1940s... Made sure my kids all have ridden them..  Both rides are still going strong...
another small shop in the town still has a old Oak penny gumball... it is that hamertone blue... been there for as long as I remember.

There is a flea market that I go to that has an indoor section that still has several watling penny scales (converted to quarters) in use.

Don't have a photo of the actual ones, but here is a stock one that is close

Here is 50's "Champion" at a  local Grocery Store. I restored this for them about 2 years before this pic was taking. Its holding up very well.

I love living in the Chicago area since we still have a few dozen of these still around.

There is a farm supply store near my home that still uses a Vendo 6 Case to sell Coca Cola and other glass bottle products.  Very cool to see when you walk in the store.

Are the Mold A Ramas in a registry somewhere? It would be cool to drive around and find them all.
I know there are a few at the museum of Scienc and Industry.
They used to have them at places like Knotts Berry Farm and the St Louis Zoo.

I posted this in another thread.
Found this one in use at Hatfield and McCoys dinner theater in Pigeon Forge.

I think there is a Mold-A-Rama facebook page that sometimes posts when new molds come out and they sometimes offer molded toys for sale. Pretty sure there is a website associated with the machine. Disney seems to be a popular mold.

They had them at Busch Gardens Tampa when I was there a couple of years ago.
