Based on Jeff Walters Book, I think its a Mills machine. In his 3rd version book page 35 there is a machine that looks alot like what you have their, except with out the penny box. According to him these are rare machines and very heavy. I have never that machine before. Sorry not much help.

Thanks 1refrescofan. I just went through the "soda machines" section one by one, whew! Quite a list. I beleive you are right it looks like a Mills 120B2. Any idea what is worth? Or what someone would pay for it? The guy is asking $400, he has another on that is a $35 cent machine for $200. I haven't seen it yet. I was thing of offering $450 for both...

Thanks again.

I believe it to be a rare machine as well, not sure how sougt after unless you get one of those lucky collectors who is trying to get one of everything... I'd say if you could get 2 vintage machines for 450.. go for it... I'd imagine you could unload them for more down the road if that is your goal..

Good luck...

I wouldnt mind owning a Mills machine like that. There was one a few weeks ago on ebay I think it brought around $200.00 but it was a different version that did not have the coca cola bottle on the front.

Now that one I like... very differnet... is the display bottle plastic?.
Very cool looking...
I'm getting older so it would kill me putting that in the basement....
But if I had some type of out building to display stuff it would be very cool...
Heck I'd take the penny box off and display it by iteslf it's cool too.
Good Luck

No this machine redefines heavy. It weighs in at 650 LBS.  '<img'>  The machine is 80" high, 27"wide, and 28" deep. Average condition $775, Fully Restored $1,625. If it is all there and works I would say $400 is a good deal. But only if you want to keep it. It might be really hard to sell a monster of this size.

The other machine is a Cavalier Css-12-96. They are big but not that big. I would say that $200 is about what the machine is worth so if you are trying to make money it isn't a wise investment but if you want to keep it they are really nice machines.

I had a mills but not with the bottle display.  It was huge and heavy would flatten both tires on my dolly.  One thing you might want to consider is these are almost 7 feet tall hard to get into the house.

I traded mine for a Nesbitt slider  ':<img:'>
