I know that cigarette machines are not popular with everyone but this machine has got to be one of the most beautiful examples of a by-gone era when vending machines were not only designed to be functional but also pleasant to look at. This baby is a work of art in my opinion. I have seen this type of machine before but this one really shows the beauty of the machine. Even if you didn't smoke, the looks of this machine would probably convince you to drop 15 cents in an buy a pack. An extra penny for the matches!
If I had a few more bucks in the fun budget, I would be on this one.
A few pictures for the archives!

The same machine is here in this auction! Did anyone go or bid on any of these items? Some nice things.
