cigarette machine

[magcag01]

Does anyone know who made this and about what year/value? Thanks

Have no idea who made it but they appear on eBay all the time so a little bit of research there will give you an idea of price. Always thought they were a little strange.

Thanks, already checked ebay, snooped around the web, came up empty. It's at a farm action goin to this weekend. Not
crazy about it but it is different.

Apparently Vends "small packs of cigarettes".

Be interested to see what these have been repurposed to vend or what would fit in them now.

There are some decent pics of the inside on this page: http://www.griffintrading.com/WP/?p=11865

Look like you could definitely make it vend other stuff, just a matter of ensuring the packages fit.  It says it took 'micro' cigarette packs, maybe you can figure out what size that ends up being.
