Title: Coca Cola Toy
Post by: shale on December 31, 2011, 03:27:18 pm
I just picked up a coca cola vending toy yesterday and wasn't sure if anyone's seen anything similar to it. It's a cute little toy, as far as I can tell you placed whatever liquid in the top put in a penny, pressed the button, and it vended into your small cup. It looks like it takes C batteries, and has a green and red light above the liquid valve. I did some research, and I guess it was created by the Line-Mar company in the mid 1940's to 50's. Just curious if anyone has seen something similar, or knows anything about these types of toys...

Sorry for the picture quality, all of my pictures look pink-colored but it's actually coca cola red. :oops:

      It's listed in Petretti's guide as from the 1950's. In good conditon valued at $500.00 and if you had the cardboard box it came in..........$1000.00.

     I've never seen one before yours, looks cool!
