Title: Glasco Candy Machine?
Post by: ajf5577 on December 31, 2017, 02:57:37 pm
I just found one of these. It’s a two column candy machine similar in size to a U Select it machine.
The Glasco name is not embossed, and it has a sticker on the back that says Lehigh.

Is this any good?

Never seen one of these before. If I came across it in the wild I would purchase it.

Does it work, have the keys, etc?

No key. Looks complete from the outside. I’ll know more more tomorrow.

Picked it up today. Made by Lehigh Mfg in PA. It looks late 60’s to me. Two column with a rudimentary coin rejector. It only takes nickels. There is no key, but it’s open. The pics are complete with the mouse mess because my wife won’t let me open it any farther in the house. It’s -4 outside so it’ll have to wait for a while before I dig into it. Certainly not a classic, but it’s sort of cool. 48” tall.

Congrats on the acquisition, minus Mickey.

Didn’t realize it was 4 feet tall

Congrats ! ! !
Coin/cash box is present too!  Are there any mounting holes on the bottom plate for attaching to some kind of lower cabinet base?  I was surprised as well when you stated this machine is 48" tall!

Appears to have been mounted to a plate or board in the back. It has holes in the bottom for mounting on a base as well.

Very cool.  Pull the knob, maybe a mouse will come out.   :laugh:

        That is probably the exact reason his wife won't let him keep it in the house.   :biggrin:
