Len (Ltransam) is the board's expert on Canteen ( it's not a Vendo) candy machines.

Canteen is the brand of the machine.   I have seen 3 or 4 of them price $250-$500.  They come in a few different sizes, personally I would wait for a Stoner machine to come along.

Creighton has a smaller one that I saw in person that I liked.

Ken
Yep it's a Canteen ( made by National  ) there hard to find with the bottom .it took
Me 4years and the help of Collector (Tom ) to get and send it to me . This Could be the earlier version as the sign is cut out mine has the embossed door .There not that common to find complete a few members have them Creighton has an earlier version with the stainless pressed out lettering and his machine is most common found on a pipe stand I'm missing that type Creighton has  :tounge: But I have the almost impossible to find Canteen Gum that mounts on the side of either version . I have Never seen the Canteen nut machine that mounted on the other side
Seven181 (Brian ) also has both the pipe stand type & the closed stand version like mine .
If complete there hard to find .but 700 is high I'd say $450 -$550 on that one if complete .because Parts are impossible to locate

Heavy machines and you won't find parts quickly.
Off the scale for "Very Cool" factor though.
Any questions just ask. Mine is in 200 pieces at the moment :-)

He said it's in about 200 pieces. Maybe someone can sneak it out a piece at a time for you.  :laugh:

the seller wants allot of money and isn't saying that if looks complete or is it just a shell. I agree wait for a stoner

I paid $600 for my Stoner 120 (not a true 6 pull Junior which only has 108 slots for candy, not 120) with a Canteen mirror. 

Leonard picked it up and Brian delivered it to me.  Thanks Guys!  Going to get repainted soon.

Personally, I like the Canteen mirror although not original to the machine.

I'd offer 400 and see if he will throw in the arcade game. Ad reads like he is motivated to sell. I recall the side art on the arcade but not the name (yet). It was a fun play.

>> He said it's in about 200 pieces. Maybe someone can sneak it out a piece at a time for you.

Hey now, enough of that. The dogs and cats already pull enough capers as is. :-)
