Title: Embossed Ideal Sliders
Post by: MoonDawg on January 01, 2009, 07:55:01 pm
       I bought a slider the other day and it needed a few parts so I called my friend Dan.
He is on a mission to collect all 15 embossed 55 sliders offered by Ideal. He now owns
14 of them.
       Since we all like pictures here at SMC, it wasn't right to visit him without asking if
I might take a few pictures for the group.
       We think restoring 1 machine is a chore......look at a guy who is doing 14 of them!

       How about finding a double bubble clock to display behind each machine

Do you still have that Birely's machine John? that was a cool slider! I picked up a Birely's bottle in Thailand when I was living there. It is everywhere in Thailand and its good stuff!

    Tom......no this guy is not Cooney, and yes the Birelys is in the first picture with
the Mission.  Sure not as nice looking as Johnies though  :darn:
