Title: new cigarette machine
Post by: mrsoda on April 03, 2009, 10:22:40 am
This is a lehigh cigarette machine Rich from RMS VINTAGE in FL found me. It is a rare machine  made in 1950 in easton PA, He is doing it in a color i don't have on any machine, It will be done in KOOL, It is in his art dept today, and should be done next week, I like that he finds me stuff that you do not see to much, Not the same old national cigarette machine that most restores do over and over again. He has a lot of cool stuff you just don't see. Spoke to tom this morning and he said all the guys are having a lot of fun at the show, Can not wait to go to the fall show to meet some of the guys, He said they had a nice dinner last night.

Very nice Jeff! Definately an uncommon model.
Why the difference between the "CI" and the "GARETTES" lettering?
Is it a column vendor like the National?

If your a sushi eater anyone is welcome to come over to my neck of the woods for a holiday anytime. You won't find better sushi than in Asia.
