SMC Discussion Areas

I followed up on a lead for a Coca-Cola Clock on Craigslist recently and went up to pick it up yesterday about 100 miles north of me.. I got there and started talking to the guy and he used to work at one of our Families bottling plants years ago.. He was a route guy and I asked "What else" he might have that he'd consider selling.
Ended up with 3 other clocks, a neat Restrooms sign and some cardboards...
He also has a Vendo 81a, cav 64 and a Westinghouse WB-66 Machine.. he wants to sell me as a set...

I don't have any interest in the Westy... so if anyone does. PM and we'll discuss.. I can get it cheap I think...

so overall Keeping the big glass light up clock to replace one I just sold just like it... and the other two , might sell.. once I get cleaned up and new bulbs in them/test em.

the restrooms sign is just cool old patina.. will go on the wall near bathroom I'm sure..

Cardboards are the big guys.. 56" long type.. double sided..they each have some water staining and issues on end.. I got them cleaned up after photos but staining is still there..  those are for sale, but shipping would be ridiculous... so might just bring to Chicago in spring..

and on the way back, stopped to look at Craigslist in the area and found this Stoner Jr , only 10 miles off my route for $400.00
it's been stripped and had all the trim and lower door in another box.. it's complete...

My Christmas stocking can be empty as far as I'm concerned....I think I am WAY AHEAD!!!  Thanks early Santa!!!

pics of westy... best I could get without pulling it out .. but it's all there and cools he claims.. and I believe him as the others where all there..

Congrats on the early gifts

Love that round light up clock.  Sold one and another pops into your hands.  I guess fate wants you to have one of those, better not sell this one :biggrin:
Looks like you must have been on the Nice list this year.

        :biggrin:  Great christmas story!   :happydrinkers:

Ha Ha... I know ... sell a few items, buy a few more... it's what it's all about!!!  I just cant stop... :help: :help: :biggrin:

Great finds

Great Score !!! John

There is a local auto repair shop that has that same clock and its been there forever. I've been trying to buy it for years but they just wont sell. So did the clock you bought come from your families bottling plant? That would be a way cool story!

The guys said it came out of a local café in the Superior WI area.. couldn't recall which one, but he picked it up when on a route one day when they where getting a "newer" clock.. but its' a good chance that it was given or sold to that café, from our bottling plant as those items where just generally give out for advertising...  but no way of knowing for sure...

You've been bitten by a bug. I still haven't found a cure for that bug bite.
