Hi everyone, I just finished a great original Cigar Machine for the Wolf Collection. I though everyone might enjoy seeing it. These are few and far between. This machine turned out great. I hand Gold leifed the original Cigar logo and coin entery. Lots of Gold leif and hand pin stripe. Alot of time and detail went into this machine, as you all know Mr. Wolf only wants the finest restorations for his collection, He was very pleased!

Curtis.. .that is awesome!  Was that originally a cigar machine, or is that something that was converted to cigars?

Thanks everyone. Yes this is an original Cigar Machine, They had hung something inside to make it humidified, as you can see in one of my other photos. Here are a few more photos, there is also a before photo.

Kurtis,

He's asking $900 for all three machines, two 9-columns & the one 13 column( the one in the "middle" ) these will look sharp when redone!...JohnieG

Thanks John, it looks like the one has the plastic coated knobs and theres not much you can do with them. $900.00 is more than I would pay for a nine selection. Thanks for keeping me in mind. I have a real cool machine I'm finishing, should be complete by weeks end. This machine will be one to see. It's a one of a kind and will be one to remember. I'll post it wright after it's delivered. Thanks Curtis Kauffman, Memory Lane Restorations.

No problem Curtis, I'm going by this afternoon to shoot some pictures of a seven column he's brought up from his basment, says it's a real "looker"  

& feel free to offer what you think is a fair price for the three & I'm sure he'll consider it, he's getting ready to retire & close up shop after 35 years in the vending business. I'll post the pic' of the seven column ASAP.... :;):

and if anyone else is interested, contact me via email jg1318@ameritech.net

Correction, all three machines are the 9-column model. & he says he'll take $650/lot, I've posted them in the classified section.

Curtis:

I just got back from Florida and saw the pictures of the Cigar machine.  It is "light out"!!!!  You never stop amazing me with your creativity.  I am glad you allow me to copy some of your ideas.  I think there is no doubt that you are the top dog in the restoration business.  I wish you could help me with my Seeburgs.  Keep up the good work!
