Title: Help identify glasco soda chest
Post by: on December 12, 2002, 09:55:58 am
Hi
The vend plate says it is a GBV-50. When I looked them up they said they were red with coke cola label. I have a white chest with a hand holding a coke bottle. Has anyone seen one of these and would you know the year and maybe what it would be worth.
Thanks
Angela

Angela, you have a GBV-50. The color scheme is throwing you off. Someone before you has done a very nice job of reversing the colors, and I personally like it better than the factory version. Value should range from $500.00 to $1500.00

Sweet! I like the reverse color scheme   :D  My  opinion would pretty much agree with moondawg around 500-1000,but onlyif it were completely restored and not just repainted AND embossed.not a  "stickered" machine (that includes a new or replated liner & rack not just powder-coated,which is fine but it's not "restoring" the machine. [pet-peave])

Angela That is a fine looking Machine , the  color  scheme
looks better than the  red one .And the value I would have to
go with the majority on this  $500 - $1000 .

How long have you owned this it is very nice.

HI Pat
The soda machine isn't mine, a freind of mine wanted me to sell it on ebay. I think she has had it for 13 years. I hadn't seen one like this on the internet and was looking for more information on it.
Thanks for the reply
Angela
