Fun-Tronics would be the only source for Coca Cola Company authorized Coca Cola decals. I do not think anyone else is legally able to reproduce them.

What do you guys recommend? Vinyl or water decals? What is historically correct?  I assume Water release should only be on "have a Coke" on each side "bottle opener here",  "change here" and "do not deposit coins if bottles are not visible". Vinyl would be "10 cent" "ice cold" or any other decorative decal. I guess I am asking about a Vendo 81B. So Is that correct? Historically speaking? Thanks!

They were originally screen painted at the factory.

Vinyl is much more durable than standar water release decals.

And they are easier (in my humble opinion) to apply.

I have used water release on some of the machines and have suffered from peeling where
something has rubbed against them..

Just my personal preference...

I prefer vinyl as well,
once it doesn't have that ugly "film" around the edges which is visible.
they often yellow with age
and vinyl is just a newer improved way of doing it.. if it where available in 1950 they propbably would have used that too.

just like how powder coating is a better process than zinc plating... they probably would have done alot of things different if the technology was there.
