Title: Dixie cup vendor
Post by: Kapri on October 21, 2011, 12:45:51 pm
Hi guys, just wondered if anybody has any info on this?
Can't find anything about it on the 'net, just wondering about age, etc.

I think thats just a dispenser.. they clip onto water coolers or wall mount next to coolers. I don't think its anything special.

Yep,meant dispenser, not vendor.  :darn:
Got it cheap off Ebay, liked it 'cos it was something I'd not seen before.

You outbid me on that...

Had watched it listed a few times and decided because it weas so cheap I'd buy it. Not expecting anyone else to
have seen it.

Can it be attached to a gumball machine??

What's the coke sign I can see on the reflection?

That is a very old (30's/40's) water cooler cup dispenser. Still possible to get the cone cup but they are all white.
The ones with glass cylinders are cool.

Didn't realise it was that old, thought it was maybe 60's.
Dave, the Coke sign is a modern repro, nothing special.
