Title: Venda-Pak snack Machine
Post by: davet426 on October 30, 2006, 11:17:01 pm
ITEM 1
I've had this machine for about 10 years, purchased it at a barn sale. I don't even know if Venda-Pak is a real name? I can not find anything about it on the net. Any history would be great!

ITEM 2
I don't know how much anyone knows about signs, but maybe you can point me in the right direction. We found this RC sign in a (ghost town) junk yard in Nevada when I was a kid. I have had it about 30 years. Can anbody date it? and/or give me an idea of what it's worth? It has some text at the bottom which is "m(space)6(space)42" or close to that. Month 6 of '42?

Thanks,

Dave

If I remember correctly the Venda Pak is painted a light mint green.

WOW! It is mint green, and you actually saw one. Well at least I know it isn't something fake someone did at home. That's a good start.

Thanks

That's the only two that I know of, but I'm sure there's more.

The one I seen had small boxes of candy in it. Hot tamales, lemonhaeds, etc.

Cool, I'll have to try those types of candy, we haven't actually put anything in it yet.
