Title: ID on a Barber Pole? Post by: tkaz on June 02, 2010, 04:58:29 pm Anyone have any info on this barber pole? I have no clue what its worth, the guy is looking for $150 for it. If anyone is interested in it, let me know as well.

Title: Re: ID on a Barber Pole? Post by: BrianS on June 02, 2010, 06:14:30 pm It looks to be a Koken, I just picked up a similar model myself. Paid $200 for mine
http://soda-machines.com/discussions/index.php/topic,11292.0.html There will be a brass Koken label in the middle of the lower cast iron ring if its still there. I have not been able to find a good all encompassing reference that identifies all the specific Koken models but I believe mine is a Model 119. Yours appears to be a Model 13 based on the taller lower section and the difference in the cast iron mounting bracket. See this site for a pic of both in restored condition. http://www.antiquewhs.com/barberpoles.htm Just out of curiosity, does yours have the original wind up motor with it? There is a pic of the one for mine in my thread, I am looking to get it back in working condition. The wind up motor for yours would be identical but have a longer crank shaft coming off of the bottom. Also, it looks like there might be a globe on top of yours - any chance its the original and if so do you have any pics that show it? Title: Re: ID on a Barber Pole?

Pretty crazy time at this guys house, beautiful multi-million dollar house in DC, and the guy was a hoarder. The place was filled with boxes and junk, but there were a few nice things around. I was able to pick up this pole for $125, and worked a deal for a Westinghouse Standard electric for $75. Clean machine, nothing but surface rust although it needs a paint job and some electrical work. Never had much interest in one, but might as well start my hoarding early! Here's some pics, I have the lid as well, but will probably need a new one at some point:

Title: Re: ID on a Barber Pole? Post by: BrianS on June 06, 2010, 12:10:43 am Congratulations on you purchases. Matt, from the pics it looks like the inner cylinder on your pole will need to be replaced. The Model 13 will need a 5.25" x 16" cylinder. You can get one from The William Marvy Company. Go to this site and click on Replacement parts. They should have what you need.
