This started off as a cigarette machine. After searching the net I drew inspiration
from a similar machine, restored to Sun Maid Raisins that I found, that sold at auction a little while ago.

I love raisins so this is a keeper.

Look's GREAT!

Very nice, good imagination.

           Great job Dave!  :happydrinkers:

 :jawdrop: That is nice Dave

looks great and it's a healthy snack!

Very good looking and way better use for a "ciggarette" machine :happydrinkers:

Nice work.

Cool!! Excellent job and re-purpose.

Dave that machine looks great.  It's a lot bigger than your wall machines.  Is there any more room available at your place?  If not, I can hold it for awhile.  :biggrin:

From cigarettes to raisens - I like it!!  Thats a great looking machine.  I always pass on anything "cigarette" based because I just don't care for the theme.  Now I think I may steal from your creative genius if the opportunity arises.  Very nice job.

Dave, great job, that was my machine you found but mine was an original machine that  despenced Film, not a cigarette machine. It did vend the product as well. It was sold in Feb. by my customer along with 20+ other machines I restored. RM Auctions America did the Auction. Thats why the Stoners are now through the roof, I did the Dots machine as well.

Dots as well

Chaps. Thanks for your very kind comments, but as you can see all credit needs to go to Curtis. It was his original design that I borrowed.

Curtis - I had a feeling it might have been your work. I only had the picture from the auction to go from, but looking at those you posted I wasn't far off at all. Wish I'd seen the "Dots" machine because I'd have been tempted to do that instead of Sun Maid.

If I'd have known for sure it was yours I'd have asked permission before posting.

I have borrowed a few of Curtis' ideas over the last 12 years as well.  Great work!!!!

Dave, look at the photos on my facebook page for some ideas if you need. Most all of my newest stuff can be found there. Keep up the good work :)

Thanks. I'll do that. I have a nine pull National Cigarette machine in my garage that is next on the list.

A Raisinettes machine is now on my one of these days list

Great job Dave!  As usual of course.

I like the eclectic mix of machines you have accumulated over the years Dave....I think you are over-addicted!
Great Job!

Awesome, Dave.  It looks great!
