Title: vendo h63 b manufacture date
Post by: jenkine on February 24, 2010, 03:06:29 pm
I believe the machine I am looking at was manufactured sometime between late 1950s and mid 1960s.  It has a serial number of 20233291.  If I use the decoding rules from colamachines.com that would show it being manufactured in 1952 or 1962.  It has the "Have a Coke" slogan on the side. 

Can anyone shed some light on this????

I'm not sure if Vendo continued their  serial number/mfg date  into the 1960's,   but if they did, your machine was built in 1962, the 63's, and the move to a squaretops did not come about  until 1960 or so.
