been off the forum for long while, do check posts from time to time. quick question, did vendorlator or vendo ever produce any official "metal salesman samples" of any of their models? many thanks GP Title: Re: samples Post by: Creighton on July 09, 2015, 04:27:22 am Welcome back. Only Vendo samples I have seen were cardboard. Great question. Hope you get some replies.

The only metal salesman samples made are the Glascock and the Coca-Cola standard cooler. They did make a wide range of cardboard salesman samples. I have all of those and have attached a picture of them. The Vendo 81 is the hardest one to get in the set.

Title: Re: samples Post by: aristocrat on July 09, 2015, 04:05:59 pm neat collection Rod, thank-you for sharing them vendo seemed to be pretty keen on cardboard samples, although they all seem to be of earlier machine models? i didnt see any vendorlator samples, does this mean that the cardboard samples were a coca cola driven sales tool makes mental note to make up an RC81 cardboard sample! many thanks for the info, greatly appreciated regards GP Title: Re: samples Post by: crackerman_don on July 09, 2015, 09:04:54 pm My friend has a very nice cooler sample with box and all original literature inside. Those bring big$$$$ when they come up for sale. Nice collection Rod.

You gonna restore them all? :oh: Title: Re: samples Post by: collecture on July 14, 2015, 09:51:33 am I guess they didn't make any salesman samples after 1955. There are not any red/white paint schemes or 60's square top models!
A very nice collection Rod!

Love that video. |
