Canteen Candy Machine - Vendo

[mygoose101]

I know zero about the Canteen Candy Machine other then what I have read here searching older posts. I picked one up that I will be posting on ebay.

I most likely overpaid for it but it was local and I thought it was cool plus I haven't used the bed in my truck for a while so I brought it home.

It's a embossed (Canteen on top above mirror) 6 pull.

The part I found interesting and I'm sure they all say this is stamped on the chrome where the 6 pulls are is "Property of Canteen Company of American and made by the Vendo Company of Kansas City." The word Vendo is stamped the same way it is embossed on the button of the soda machine door.

Ray,

I have seen (2) versions.  A smaller tabletop style, and a very large stand up model probably taller than a Stoner Senior.

Leanard ( Ltransam) should be able to provide more on these, he's the resident expert so I would expect him to chime in.

Not sure if there is a coralation between Canteen and Vendo...

Do you have any pictures?

I think there's a member looking for canteen machines or at least has a few... I think their father worked there.... hope they chime in.
Can you post a picture of it?

Reading older post it is Leonard and his father did work for Canteen. On his restored machine he states that the base is rare and most Canteen machines were destroyed once removed from location.

Mine does have the original base as it has the groves in it as it lines up to the machine.

Is it for sale ?

       The square features on this machine make it look ugly................ until it's compared with Leonard's
