Title: Sell or Trade - N.O.S. Tom's Peanuts & Crackers Vendor
Post by: Jim on June 10, 2016, 03:15:24 pm
Just reaching out to everyone before I decide to utilize other markets...

I have a New Old Stock Tom's 10cent Vendor from the late 50's early 60's that I will be parting with at some point in the near future...
I purchased this machine from the original owner that never put it into service at his store many years ago. As a matter of fact, it was never put together ! ! ! I assembled the machine using the original nuts/bolts in the original cloth bag ! ! !  I do have the original carton/box for the lower section & legs, but it is in poor condition and can be seen in one of the photos.
With all this said, I would like to point out a few of the flaws:
  • Scratch and small dent just above the "T" in Toasted on the marquee: scratch is approx. 1" and can be seen in photos
  • A little rust spot near the coin return cup: see photos
  • Gasket on lower right side of slide-off cabinet top is missing, left side is very brittle
  • Upper cabinet lock has been replaced; however, I still have the original lock.

This is something you do not run into very often and reviewing the photos, you will see the overall condition is outstanding, border-line spectacular ! ! !
Open for discussion and Thank you for your time!
