Title: Split 110 Vendo Post by: BONOVOX on November 06, 2012, 06:48:29 pm Do you guys think this is from back in the day, or just a guy trying to make his machine more marketable.
(segregated drinking fountain on the machine) http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/atq/3320988710.html Title: Re: Split 110 Vendo Post by: MaineT on November 06, 2012, 07:01:09 pm Since the top has been repainted, it is hard to tell. Did they have sharpies back then?
Also, Its in Phoenix, not exactly the hub of segregation. More of a red flag, not proof for anything. Title: Re: Split 110 Vendo Post by: Slapshot42 on November 06, 2012, 07:05:14 pm A drinking fountain was simply in option. I don't believe they were rare by any means!!

:drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: Split 110 Vendo Post by: johnieG on November 06, 2012, 07:31:23 pm Yeah! :laugh: genuine 1950's sharpies! what a derp!
Title: Re: Split 110 Vendo Post by: mygoose101 on November 06, 2012, 08:13:56 pm This is a joke. Now we have a poor man's version of the Cavalier 102 but for $5k maybe not exactly too poor. So if I bolt on drinking fountain to the back of a machine would that make it even more rare? Heck, I'll add one to the front also get a sharpie and put Asians, Hispanics, or whatever and charge $10,000. Ridiculous!
Title: Re: Split 110 Vendo Post by: MaineT on November 06, 2012, 09:15:09 pm Brown vs the board of education was 1954 abolishing seperate but equal doctrine. Anyone know if the machine was produced prior to 54?
Title: Re: Split 110 Vendo Post by: Kilroy on November 06, 2012, 09:19:10 pm I believe it was in production from mid 1952 through 1959
i'm so not buying the story. Title: Re: Split 110 Vendo Post by: 90grad on November 07, 2012, 06:27:46 am According to the serial number, it was made in January of 1956.
Title: Re: Split 110 Vendo Post by: FRESNO MAN on November 23, 2012, 09:19:20 am Wouldn't it be the other way around; "Whites" get the sodas while "Blacks" just the water?
Very suspect indeed! Title: Re: Split 110 Vendo Post by: FRESNO MAN on November 23, 2012, 09:22:14 am Okay, just saw the second water fountain on the "Colored" side, which actually supports my point further; it is backward (pun intended).
Title: Re: Split 110 Vendo Post by: FRESNO MAN on November 23, 2012, 09:32:28 am Missed the "Colored" water fountain the 2st comment around, but further advances my point this is a scam and the guy got it backwards (pun intended); one would think "Whites" of the time would be the ones with the option of water and/or soda; while the "Coloreds" would be simply relegated to water. Also, how does one restore hand written BS- before/after pix would go a long way in giving this some plausibility, but bet they don't exist for a very good reason! Extreme fail; especially given the subject matter, seems to be nice machine otherwise, I am a 110 fan.
