Title: Another Oddball Gum Vendor, Never seen this before???
Post by: SIGNGUY on April 16, 2009, 09:34:50 am
A  guy I know in my area sent me photos of this Gum vendor he found. He actually has two of them.. never seen one before, and there is no id tag on it.. there is a crank handle on these that looks alot like a VMC 27 handle or possilbe a Vendo Crank handle.. Anyone ever seen these before and know manufacturer or a value?
They are kinda neat? not sure what to offer on them..

Wow... never seen that before... maybe try Roger at Crowriver.com... he may know or know who to stear you to... Are they floor models or did it mount to the wall
That may be a NEED depending on price and condition of the metal... One looks to be missing a handle... Is the other complete?....  right paint scheme they could be cool.

Hey John
  Very cool looking machine, love the curves on top. It kind of reminds me of the console style cigarette machines of the 50's.

He sent me the same photos and as everyone else, never seen them before. He said he was holding on to them for now, he also has an older National Cigarette machine thats different.
