Title: Cigarette Machine Question Post by: Scopicdrive on July 07, 2012, 01:16:40 pm I love the emblem on the front, but don't know anything about these is this a good deal?
http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/atq/3109271225.html Thanks, Johnny Title: Re: Cigarette Machine Question Post by: MaineT on July 07, 2012, 04:29:49 pm There is one of these on ebay right now in mass if it helps. It's not that exciting, I would not pay over $200 for one but that is my uneducated opinion.

From what I have heard, that was the first electric cig vending machine. Dates to the mid 50's. That on has been repainted as the original machine had a woodgrain paint job. Neat machine but really just a display piece unless you want to vend smokes. It also dispensed a pack of matches with each sale!

I had one for sale for 6 months and finally sold it for $40. Title: Re: Cigarette Machine Question Post by: Scopicdrive on July 08, 2012, 01:35:49 am Thanks Fellas,
I appreciate all the info. I'll wait till the right one comes along. I really like the looks of this one even better. Is it a better deal? http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/atq/3094734046.html Title: Re: Cigarette Machine Question Post by: davethebirdman on July 08, 2012, 07:35:47 am In my humble opinion that is a much better deal.. If I could I would buy.. It will only ever be a cig machine but can look really great with a bit of piant and a few decals.

The Rowe Machine in Indy is a very good price. As long as there are no cracks in those top letters. They are made of catalin and are a reddish-pink swirl. They look beautiful when lit from behind(which is how they are supposed to be). The pull knobs are catalin also. I've had a couple of these and they are really neat machines. They had and optional "Dancing Girl" feature in the mirror in some of them that was pretty cool.

Title: Re: Cigarette Machine Question Post by: mznb1u on July 08, 2012, 11:51:20 am That Rowe is a better deal and a better looking machine. Looks like a couple of the pulls have damage to the plastics. Curtis at Memory Lane might have a source for those or a way to repair them. That machine also displays very well as is and might clean up very nicely.
