Those Nationals worth much? They kinda intrigue me 8) 9 selection. Was gonna post a pic but it was on ebay and the bidding has ended.

Here's a pic of the one in question. This one is a 7 selection tho in the pic





Thanks. Mark

I like the 7 pull and the 9 pull.  The larger ones are rather big.

They have a great style but I don't think they go for much.  Not sure what the restored price is, but unrestored I've seen the price is around $150-$200.

Thanks guys. Have a chance at 1 for $50 and another for $40. Make 1 a candy and make/keep the other as a cigarette.

from earlier discussions here, I don't think they make great candy machines, since you are limited on  candy that will fit the slots

They are not the best for candy machines, I recently converted one into a candy machine.  It looks great and works fine but it's not the most practical candy machine since the product must be in boxes.  I currently have lemon heads, red hots, jawbreakers, DOTS and junior mints.
