First,  it's not an original. Most of these machines are converted condom machines with Hershey decals. They are more of a "fantasy" machine than anything. The machines themselves are typical from the 40-60's. Even though the Pat Number on the coin mech is from the the late 30's I believe. Nevertheless, it's a nice looking vintage machine and people are willing to pay top dollar in many cases. I've seen these machines go as much as $600 dollars. Typically you'll see anywhere from 300 - 450 for this machine once auction is complete.

No problem, I like to post pic's of auction items of interest, due to the fact that when the auction in ended, the online pic's are gone & someone may not get the opportunity to see what may be a unique machine...especially on Craigs list, thing move quickly.
