Title: Latest candy machine haul
Post by: sc1101 on May 15, 2014, 10:30:00 pm
Here is the Dugrenier Candy Machine that I just picked up late last night. After some cleaning and lube I was able to get all of the mechanics working and a little shine out of it also. This is the machine I'm trying to find a base for If anyone has one for sale. It was made somewhat local in Haverhill, MA so I just couldn't pass it up. Thanks again to my fellow collectors Tim and Justin I was able to get this. Thanks for the heads up guys.

I've always wanted on to, and then had the opportunity to buy in in Chicago and didn't realize how BIG they are... I ended up not buying it,, but now kinda still wish I did?

The one at Chicago a few years back across from Signguys spot was Brians and it was mint.  I tried to buy it when I arrived but Brian just sold it.  I did buy one off of TomfromJersey and it is in nice shape.  It's on my list of things to restore.  Currently it sits in my garage.

How does It compare in size to a u select

They're about the same Dave.  I believe the DuGrenier base is wider on the bottom.

Yes they were! (see pic)
Nice machine! I'd like to get a U-Select or one of these one day. I think I like the DuGrenier look better - more Art Deco-ish. Do they hang on the wall without the base?

This can be used as a wall hanger but you better find the studs. Lol
Thanks again Tim
