Title: Interesting Mills candy machine similar to a Stoner Post by: Larry on September 11, 2008, 08:42:38 am I never saw one of these before. I thought I would share it. It's in pretty bad shape, but restorable.

Either way, I like it and I am going to buy it. Has anyone ever seen a Stoner like this?? Title: Re: Interesting Mills candy machine similar to a Stoner Post by: SIGNGUY on September 11, 2008, 08:46:08 am Tha'ts a very cool machine larry,
Good luck, hope you get it for a good price! Title: Re: Interesting Mills candy machine similar to a Stoner Post by: MoonDawg on September 11, 2008, 11:10:03 am Has anyone ever seen a Stoner like this?? Yes, Dan Cooney, aka Cooney Island Antiques made several of those for Stoner 6 pulls. I saw one locally sell for $900.00 last year Title: Re: Interesting Mills candy machine similar to a Stoner Post by: Larry on September 11, 2008, 11:16:59 am Where's Dan out of? Is it Cooney or Coney?
I would just like the bottom trim piece. Any contact information would be appreciated. Title: Re: Interesting Mills candy machine similar to a Stoner Post by: collecture on September 11, 2008, 11:45:04 am Where's Dan out of? Is it Cooney or Coney? He is in California and it is Cooney. Shop number is (818) 248-7824 Cell number is (818) 720-5326 Fax number is (818) 248-7329 He was at the Barrett Jackson Auto auction this past January and I grabbed one of his cards. Title: Re: Interesting Mills candy machine similar to a Stoner Post by: Larry on September 11, 2008, 12:45:37 pm Thanks,
I"ll give him a call. Any email address? It's easier to send a picture than try to explain something over the phone. Title: Re: Interesting Mills candy machine similar to a Stoner Post by: collecture on September 11, 2008, 01:19:47 pm Any email address? There is not one on the business card, but I would bet he has one he can give you over the phone. Title: Re: Interesting Mills candy machine similar to a Stoner Post by: MCarter on September 11, 2008, 08:22:39 pm 900 bucks for the trim piece or the machine
Title: Re: Interesting Mills candy machine similar to a Stoner Post by: Larry on September 11, 2008, 08:48:39 pm FYI the guy I am buying the machine off of wanted $2,500.00. A bit steep, especially if I can make my own from parts. I haven't got a hold of that guy yet, just got back from the hospital. My kid wiped out on his mini bike. He's fine.
I have two Stoner Jrs. and two Stoner gum machines with the bracket that I have been working on. I put $1,900.00 in one and $2,300.00 in the other, so his price isn't really that far off. I am planning on selling the candy and gum machines together. I painted them yellow. I was excited by the color because 90% of my machines are red. Go figure, his machine is red. :tounge: Title: Re: Interesting Mills candy machine similar to a Stoner Post by: sodaworks on September 11, 2008, 11:15:12 pm That piece would be easy to make. A local machine shop could ball mill in the lines fairly cheap. Just a thought.
Title: Re: Interesting Mills candy machine similar to a Stoner Post by: sodaworks on September 11, 2008, 11:16:32 pm Just looked at the mills machine. I like it. I wished it was closer.
Title: Re: Interesting Mills candy machine similar to a Stoner Post by: Larry on September 13, 2008, 12:47:04 pm Well I talked to the creater of the Stoner and it was Dan Cooney. He said that he quit making Stoners, and sold off his parts at the Chicagoland show a few years back. He described the machine perfectly without seeing it. It is a fantasy piece that he created. He made about thirty of these plus he said he has restored thousands of Stoners. Curtis has some catching up to do to beat that mark. He no longer deals with Stoners. So the question is, do I buy the red one or not?
Title: Re: Interesting Mills candy machine similar to a Stoner Post by: mznb1u on September 14, 2008, 08:15:59 pm 56 minutes left and the price is $345--seems like a deal. Wish I was close too!
Title: Re: Interesting Mills candy machine similar to a Stoner Post by: SIGNGUY on September 15, 2008, 08:43:54 am Well... who got it?
Title: Re: Interesting Mills candy machine similar to a Stoner Post by: mznb1u on September 15, 2008, 10:34:29 pm Not me but hopefully someone in the group.
