This started off as a cigarette machine. After searching the net I drew inspiration
from a similar machine, restored to Sun Maid Raisins that I found, that sold at auction a little while ago.
I love raisins so this is a keeper.

Dave that machine looks great. It's a lot bigger than your wall machines. Is there any more room available at your place? If not, I can hold it for awhile.  |

From cigarettes to raisens - I like it!! Thats a great looking machine. I always pass on anything "cigarette" based because I just don't care for the theme. Now I think I may steal from your creative genius if the opportunity arises. Very nice job.

Dave, great job, that was my machine you found but mine was an original machine that despenced Film, not a cigarette machine. It did vend the product as well. It was sold in Feb. by my customer along with 20+ other machines I restored. RM Auctions America did the Auction. Thats why the Stoners are now through the roof, I did the Dots machine as well.

Chaps. Thanks for your very kind comments, but as you can see all credit needs to go to Curtis. It was his original design that I borrowed.
Curtis - I had a feeling it might have been your work. I only had the picture from the auction to go from, but looking at those you posted I wasn't far off at all. Wish I'd seen the "Dots" machine because I'd have been tempted to do that instead of Sun Maid.
If I'd have known for sure it was yours I'd have asked permission before posting.
