This last weekend I set up a booth at the Peddler's Antique show in Bakersfield. I sold a few things, picked up a few restoratons although I'm booked til March 07 and bought a few things. All in all it was a good weekend. I found a few items that I wanted to share with you. The first item is a Mobol Gargoyle sign double sided but has been cut down.

The next item is a complete one cent gum machine that should be a easy resto. project

The next item is a vintage vending machine that I'm going to restore as a condom machine for my 50's "mens" room in my resto shop.

Nice selection Terry!
I bought one of those 1 cent gum machines a little while back off eBay. The whole front of mine is chromed, but yours doesn't like it is chrome. Exactly the same otherwise. What did you pay for everything?

The Gargoyle was 20 bucks, the gum vendor was 100, the Raspberry Douche machine was 20 bucks. This was a novelty item that actually has some pretty cool graghics painted on the sides but I didn't think I should post them due to content. This will be repainted as a vintage condom machine. I paid 500 bucks for the Stoner Theater.

I agree with Eric...............Ya' gotta love that Stoner! I want one!
Does anyone know if the theater version is the same machine as the 8 pull, with just a light fixture attatched?

I'm not sure but Curtis K. would know. This brings my Stoner count up to two machines. A Jr and a Theater. I'm debating as to keep them both or possibly sell or trade one of them.
