Title: Kist American Vendor Co
Post by: MaineT on April 25, 2012, 06:32:18 pm
Any thought of value on thisAmerican Vendor Co and what model? It is really close to my house, but looks like a back breaker.

I passed on one several years ago for $250 that was up in the rafters of a garage. I wish I didn't. The seller wound up putting it on ebay and I believe it went $400+, not sure. It is a very tough machine to find. They used these machines and painted them whatever brand they wanted as there was no embossing. I have an old black and white 8x10 pic of one done in Grapette at a school, and I've had the idea of doing one in Grapette ever since. I don't know how difficult the restoration would be. If you decide to pass, I'd be interested.

The seller is asking 1750.00 for this one... WAY TOO Much for this vendor... I think the 300-400 range is about right..

Wow, $3-400. Being a kist I would have guessed closer to $8-1200, and at the top end with the northeast tax.
