Title: Rare machine
Post by: cohammer on May 24, 2015, 11:12:29 pm
I have had a mans number for a long time that was said to have some very rare machines. After being told by another person last week In an antique store I should go see this person I thought what the heck so I called him. The man that met me there just owned the building and not the machines so I did not take any photo but will when I go back with the machine owners. He had a Icey O that had a total restoration with before and after pictures . I watched the Allan Hoffman u tube video where he claims to have the only one but I know for sure there is another and it did have the ID tag on top . They also had the strangest machine I had ever seen that you took a long metal hook and picked up a bottle from the bottom of an enclosed cooler then slid it over and dropped it into a chute . Place a nickel in and then get drink . There was also two machines made from a wood barrel I believe one to be a Rome Box . Sorry for poor descriptions but I will get some pictures in a couple weeks . The photo below is a Ice O

I have seen a couple Icy O coolers like that. They came in several brands not just coke. Rare for sure but there's way more then one. Here is one my friend owns along with a original countertop Icy-O. Good luck with it I hope you grab it. You know how I like those rare ones!
