Title: Finds of the month

Well my first auction of this year and I went to
check out a old gumball machine... Well it was
a Simpson Jr from the 1910s and on the last table
was this Vendo Coin Changer. I've always wanted
one and now I have one. I think what saved me from
spending a small fortune was the fact it didn't have
the Coca-Cola Paper label in it. Love the art on this
old original label so I'll probably make a new one to
match.
Anyone else have a find for the month of January?

Eric,
I think that if the changer is complete and functioning, you did well!
If my memory servers me, the red handle is a later model...
Good purchase!

Thanks! With the info of Jeff's book it would be the older model since it doesn't have the empty window.
I know it's missing a little coin catcher box which is repro'd
Does anyone out there have images of the insides?
There's a mech that apears to work and is very clean inside.
Just never have seen one opened
But no dents rust.

OR... if anyone out there has a brochure on these
and how they worked... Just want to make sure it's
complete. So a image of the insides from the real
deal or brochure would be great! Thanks!!

Eric,
You're right about the window!
I apologize for the inaccurate data!
I happen to have an original service manual for the early version of the Vendo Coin Changer; so, I'll post a photo as soon as I get dig up the manual... Just a few minutes... I hope...
