Title: A Couple of New Purchases...
Post by: Jim on October 30, 2015, 07:04:44 pm
Just sharing a picture of two machines that followed me home...

DeGrenier Cigarette machine and a Rowe Candy machine
The Degrenier is currently locked but hope to get it over to my locksmith to have a key made...
The Rowe is complete and working w/ original key.

Jim

  Great machines  !!!

I pretty sure slider Bob has one like the one on the left .

Congrats Jim!  Very cool!

I'm picking up my restored DuGrenier Cigarette machine up at the show in a couple weeks from Lloyd at CoinOp Warehouse. Can't wait!

They're nice because they don't take up much floor place and look really art deco!

       That DuGrenier has a great design and I didn't realize how thin it was in Jim's picture.
Bob's machine looks to have had plates installed to keep it from falling forward, which would be a good idea here in California.

Thanks Lonny...I don't mean to highjack Jim's thread, but I'm having my other identical DuGrenier restored by my painter Dean in Ohio.  I will post that one when its done in its Lucky Strike theme.

Yea Pat, I've been looking for one too...

Bob,
Your machine looks great!  Incentive to begin tearing mine down...
Do you have original locks/key...?  If so, I'll get in touch to obtain duplicates before I take the machine to my locksmith... Your key(s) may unlock my machine...

The machine is small: 23" wide, base is 9" deep and the top cabinet is only 7" deep!

Thanks everyone!

Jim..I think Lloyd said he had the key to the maroon one I bought from him, so I will check for you.

Here are pics of the Lucky Strike so far.  I like how you can see Dean in the reflection!
