Title: Vendo Coin Changer lost brochure Post by: Gmari2 on July 03, 2013, 09:06:02 pm Your the only group i can share this with. Yesterday I made a 250 mile round trip drive to the Hagley library in Wilmington DE. They have an original 23 page booklet on the selling features of the Vendo Coin Changer. It is
Dated 1947. Awesome document, which I dutifully made a digital copy of. High grade color scan which I put on my jump drive. Wouldn't ya know, the darn jump drive fell out of my pocket and is no where to be found. Uggh. Oh well.

Provide a pre- paid envelope for return purposes so all they have to his drop it in the mailbox!
Title: Re: Vendo Coin Changer lost brochure Post by: Gmari2 on July 04, 2013, 07:08:18 am I thought of that. Maxwell, the curator of this particulr section of the library is a really decent guy. He'd probably do that for me. If i get it. I'll post it for the group.

Title: Re: Vendo Coin Changer lost brochure Post by: Gmari2 on July 04, 2013, 12:20:31 pm Yea, it really bummed me out. Worse things could have happened. Happy Independence Da to everyone.

George Title: Re: Vendo Coin Changer lost brochure Post by: collecture on July 20, 2013, 08:22:15 pm I have a VCC brochure. Is this what you had scanned?
Title: Re: Vendo Coin Changer lost brochure Post by: Gmari2 on July 20, 2013, 10:17:14 pm Yup. I believe that's it. Lucky you.
Thanks for sharing. Your is only the second copy i have ever seen. George Title: Re: Vendo Coin Changer lost brochure Post by: collecture on July 20, 2013, 11:20:11 pm I bought it in an EBay auction from Vintage Vending years ago.
What I find most interesting in it is some of the changers have no holes to attach the plexi-glass (like on the cover). There are also some uncommon stands used.

Look at those canteen vendors Title: Re: Vendo Coin Changer lost brochure Post by: MCarter on July 21, 2013, 06:03:27 am I had a VCC with no holes for the plexiglass I thought it was a error from the manufacture. Thoses Cantanen vendors are really neat. BTW who smokes in a hosiptal?
Title: Re: Vendo Coin Changer lost brochure Post by: Gmari2 on July 21, 2013, 06:40:25 am I loved those period photographs. Another interesting difference was the spanish language coin deca i saw on a coin changer at the chicago show this past april. It wsn't for sale.
