I picked up one of the Handy Candy 5c vendors at the local vintage show I am doing today, it is NOS with the packing cardboard on the inside.  The seller found 10 of them at a family members house, some are still in sealed packages.  Anybody interested in them, $100 each, might be able to get a bulk discount.  I am willing to ship as well.

Heres a link to a better pic of a similar one if mine is too small http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/25729900_5-cent-handy-candy-metal-case-vending-machine

I'll take one if you are prepared to hold it until I can get it shipped...

thanks

Dave

If there isn't much in the way of interest (i'm sure there will be) I'll have another for my brother...

thanks

Dave

Count me in on one. perhaps two - NOS & sealed, I like that!
Can we assume they have the key(s)?
Would you like us to PM you Tom...?

I will take one. NOS and keys? sounds good.

Shouldn't cost too much to ship one to NJ. Thanks for doing this.

PM sent as well.

If one is left I would be very interested!

I'd like one if possible ??   PM me

Thanks

Ditto.  I can always make room for another.  The one at the auction site is a little rough on top.  I'm in if it is as nice as yours.

Ok, I think they are all accounted for, I need to get the others tomorrow, but she's not sure she has all 10, I'll send some PMs when I get out of here later tonight

If you would have one left, I would like one too. Very cool!

Any left ? Love to have one , can you ship silver creek ga 30173

Well, all are spoken for now, turns out she only had 6, not the 10 thought (it was her friend selling them).  Sorry to those I couldn't get one to that responded, I wish there were more to go around.  

That being said, pretty cool finds, they were found in a hoarders house in a big box full of smaller sealed boxes.  They were going to be thrown out then the girl I got them from decided to look inside the boxes instead.  Nice surprise, they are packaged in newsprint from 1948 in Cleveland, so that makes it real easy to date them.  The interior and exterior are mint, packing cardboard, assembly instructions, and keys all included in the box.

Here's a quick video I took of it, no candy bars in the pantry so I went with granola bars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqECBr8R6ts

Well it is too late to get any, but I have to say what a nice thing that was to do for fellow members.  I am reminded all the time why this site is so great.

Here's a couple more photos of it in the box, makes it pretty easy to date them when there's newspaper in the box. 

I knew I should have logged in sooner yesterday, LoL

Nice find. Enjoy.

Anybody selling ? LoL

Show us more , keep making us sick.
Great find

Love The Plain Dealer! That's also the year my Indians last won the World Series. lol

Just throwing my name in the hat in case any of the deals fall through.  Great find.  Would love to have one.

Being a native of Cleveland for 40 years...i can honestly say that is the first time i have ever heard that statement  :laugh:



Also if any of the deals fall through, let me know!   Those candy machines are so cool !

I had to get one last photo of all the machines together for history sake, I'll be shipping them all out this week!

Does that backplate have holes so it could be mounted to the wall?

Just curious?

Yep, there are three holes for screws, they bump out about 1/8" to hold it slightly off the wall

Look forward to receiving mine this week. Thanks again

It sucks being number eight out of seven.  :tounge:

That is a nice picture of the machines.

I think I was number 7 out of 8 Woooooooo  :tounge:

        :happydrinkers:  Thank you Santa  :biggrin:

I was number 1. Hooray. that's what happens when you are bored with work and check this site 30 times a day. Paid off..
made space for the old girl already. mrs B is happy because its the Xmas pressie sorted out and I'm happy because its not socks again.

Thanks Tom ! ! !
I really appreciate you reaching out to members too!

Guess I was on Santa's knotty list. LoL

Similar to Dave I was taking a break from housework. When I "got caught" I said "look honey I did some shopping for you". :)

Received my "Handy Candy" Vendor and think it's a pretty cool little machine ! ! !
Especially, new in the box from 1948 ! ! !
A BIG Thank You goes out to Tom for sharing with those that were fortunate enough to purchase one ! ! !
