Title: Newly Acquired Cigarette Machine

Hello everyone,

Trying to correctly identify this cigarette machine I recently purchased...
Anyone have some knowledge that could yield a maker/model...?

Looks like an Early National I saw once up at Flint vending, Joe the owner had one just like it in his office..

PS...Nice Frostie on the lawn! say , we could lend you some of the white stuff up here in Michigan & lower your temperature down to 19-F & it'll look right at home!

Hey Jim.. when you get a chance, can you send me some pics of your ramp? My kids want to build one and we have been looking around for some ideas... I'm really interested in how you made it moveable.

Cigarettes for 50 cents per pack. Wow... Can't get them in vending machines for much less than $8 these days where I live.

looks like a National 7 pull.  More sought after than the 9 pull.  I am also looking for one of them.

That's what I thought, but most National vendor have the emblem...
Sad part is it's missing the right coin entry bezel/trim and the coin box... So, if anyone comes across a parts machine, I'll buy at least these parts!

Slapshot, I'll put this in the line-up to get restored... It's almost dent free; only two dents, a quarter sized one and another approx. 2" - 3".

That's a lovely machine... Just restoring a seven pull at the moment.
Yours is certainly more Art Deco than the normal seven pull...

Nice looking machine.  I have a 7 pull but it is the later model.  I like the trim on that machine.

Jim, after looking in the warehouse, I have that same machine restored. I took it in on trade a year or so ago. Someone put Cigar logos on it rather than Cirgarette. Hell I don't even know what I have anymore. Look at my facebook inventory pages, I think it's there.
