You've got to post some additional pictures at some point.

Thanks guys!!
Eric, let me know if you can find the first one in your book. Seller says no markings on it.
Bob, will post more pictures soon.
Ken, Thanks! Seller thought it was a Mills "subway".
Anybody know what the holes in the upper right corner are for? Maybe a higher priced coin mech?

The small handbook I have shows one that looks close made by Lawerence...
It's a double vendor from the 40s where yours is a triple vendor same knob.
the author/collector of the book said any questions email him at
jscarini@execpc.com
his name is John and would know what it is exactly or will lead you to someone.
keep us posted.

Creighton,

The holes in the upper right are for a lock that was drilled out.
I've got a Mills that is stainless.  Did you get all the weights with it?  Nice machines!!

Ok,
They are here :-). After emailing with John (Thanks Eric!!) The candy machine is a Stanal "Sugar Bowl" Best we can tell anyway. Lawerence didn't make a 3 selection. John knew it as a Sugur Bowl and STANAL CHGO is stamped into the lid. It is in great shape just some surface rust in the product chute area's. Would like to get the the alum. polished if anybody knows a good shop for that.

The Mills is smaller than I thought it would be. It is locked with no key. Someone has scrached 5515 next to the key hole. Anybody know where I can get a key and more information please reply or PM.
More pictures no worries just ask.
*edit* Yes Lulu there are some weights just can get in to see what they do.

Thanks!!
Creighton

Creighton...
check crowriver.com
I think his name is Steve... has a lot of parts, decals for
candy machines.
I saw HOLLYWOODLAND last night and there's a scene in a Cafe
with a 3 selection machine that looked like yours in the background...
It was red.... I need a machine like that one now. :)

Post “after” when you get those done.
Also that John has a great little handbook on candy machines...
you see them on eBay all the time. Might want to pick one up.
Those are geat scores you got there.
