Title: Ideal 55 Post by: bmw90w on October 28, 2008, 08:42:50 pm Hey guys I have a line on an ideal 55 pepsi embossed slider. The guy says he will take 400 for it. It has the coin mech, cap catcher, and rack. All complete and it cools. It will need to be repainted but no bad rust supposedly. Yay or nay? The war department usually doesn't get in the way, but she doesnt like sliders! She says I can have all the round tops I want, as long as they fit in the garage! So this must be a good deal for approval!!! Thanks for the help

Title: Re: Ideal 55 Post by: bmw90w on October 28, 2008, 08:57:02 pm It is a single dot he says. Excuse my ignorance but what does that mean?
Title: Re: Ideal 55 Post by: collecture on October 28, 2008, 09:02:06 pm Pepsi's has used "Pepsi:Cola" and Pepsi-Cola" The former example is known as Double Dot - an older logo and more desirable.
Title: Re: Ideal 55 Post by: Kilroy on October 28, 2008, 09:23:18 pm The double dot was used up until the mid 1950's when Pepsi switched to the single (Pepsi-Cola) logo.
Still an embossed slider is more desirable, at least in my opinion. Title: Re: Ideal 55 Post by: SIGNGUY on October 29, 2008, 09:12:54 am WIth all the parts and if it 's working, 400 is a good price... Go for it.
and you'll have to educate the wife that it STILL is a ROUND Top Machine, it's just a shorter rounded corner machine... :biggrin: Title: Re: Ideal 55 Post by: bmw90w on October 29, 2008, 10:25:52 am That is an angle I should have thought about!!! Plus she is a coke fan not a pepsi fan!!! Living in ga thats a valid point!!! :happydrinkers:
