Welcome to the site, looks likes you've already got some "bites" on it form other memebers!

It's a real nice original machine, I agree about the drinking fountian, looks neat, but it's just an "add-on"
(worst Idea ever insofar as coke machines go!, all they did was cause rust & cut down on "Coke" sales) you'll notice they don't come on any current Soda machines now do you?  ':<img:'>

but anyway, welcome once again!

I don't quite understand the water bubbler on the side myself.  Why would the owner of the machine want to give sales away.  But I'll bet that in 1957 if you told the owners of the machines that in 2007 people would be buying water at .99 a bottle they would have said you were crazy!

Thanks for all the good input and info on this machine.  It sounds like I maybe located opposite ends of the country from most of you.  I am located in Riverside, California.  Anyone near me?'<img'>??  Interesting info about the drinking fountain.  I got to thinkin about that and I think this machine may have been used at the Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona, CA.   Someone stuck a LA County Fair Sticker inside the glass door.  And the small tag with #281 on the upper back may have been the ID number for the vendor. What do you guys think?
By the way, does anyone recommend a restorer in So. Calif.Huh?  I may be better off selling it to someone who can really appreciate it.  Although I love to look at these things, I think I am too old to start another hobby.  
Thanks again for all the imput.
