Title: Cigarette Machine
Post by: cokecolaman on November 17, 2010, 07:58:00 pm
I just picked this machine up and don't know anything about it. I like the way it looks, but I think it needs repainted. Can anyone tell me the approximate value and who made them? It works and vends properly (on a quarter) and the glass and chrome or in great shape. The coin mech. looks perfect and the cabinet of the machine has some surface rust, but nothing to worry about. I'm guessing it used to have a base...I didn't notice any holes for a wall mount.

That looks like a Rowe to me but I am not 100% certain.  It definitely had a base at one point--similar to a stoner candy machine.  Curtis at Memorylane can probably help you ID that machine and may even know where a repop base is available.

Nice looking machine.  I doubt that is the original paint job though.

Cool machine. Why's that Cavalier Office cooler painted yellow? Pint er red and buff the lid as they are aluminum and come out great

Does the paint look original? It is a common splatter design from the 50's and early 60's. Hard to duplicate.
Thanks,
Creighton
