Title: Machine keychain
Post by: scalebowler on August 31, 2010, 10:24:02 pm
I made this keychain for my machine keys because I kept losing the key to my machine and I knew that when I got the candy machines I needed a place to keep all my machine keys so I made a keychain. I found a coke/dr. Pepper fountain machine handle at an antique store and then put some wood into the opening and screwed a eye bolt into the hole. I then put expoxy in the hole to make sure everything would be secure. I think it turned out pretty good and I know I won't be losing these keys anytime soon.

I dare say you won't lose that keychain!
Here is mine for the machines I get into fairly often. I got this Vendo key ring tag years ago and it fits well!

Very cool idea! The sheer size alone of those handles is a plus.

Thanks! I had been looking for an interesting pop related keychain since I got my pepsi machine and I saw this at a booth at an antique store where the seller had to have worked for coke because he had everything coke and it was stuff like signs keychains, bottles and other stuff. Nothing too old though but still kind of neat. I think the oldest thing he had was maybe the bottle opener I bought and a glass 2 liter bottle. Not much is left anymore but when I saw the handle I thought that would make a perfect keychain. Thats a neat vendo keychain. Is that something that vendo employees got or did those come with the machines?
