Westinghouse 44sk?

[tony stephenson]

i have a westinghouse 44sk and it's in pretty good shape.any idea what it's worth. i've only seen two others, one was in a movie and the other was in a display at a museum in west texas. the only thing nissing is the coin box.

thanks, tony

Tony,
Welcome to the family here! We're a great group, stay awhile.
I'm sorry that I don't have the answer for you, but I would like to know what movie you saw the westinghouse 44sk in.
I try to keep a database here of movies with cool vintage soda machines in them.
Let me know when you have the chance.
Thanks,

Tony,
  Steve Ebner's book, "Vintage Coca-Cola Machines Vol. 2" lists the following prices for a Westinghouse WC-44SK:

Rough shape - $250
Good - $550
Excellent/Restored - $2000

But (and there's ALWAYS a but) price is totally dependent on demand.  It doesn't really matter what a book says, what the market demand currently is determines the dollar value.  I have one too and think their pretty neat just because one doesn't see many, but the rarity doesn't necesarily mean they're valuable.

Post some pics on the photo album portion of Jim's website so we can all admire it!!  Besides, mine's in the middle of restoration!!

Someone just sold a pretty slick Sprite one on Ebay for $300.  Was a Coke converted to Sprite with real early Sprite signage.

Nice! I saw the Sprite 44sk on Ebay & figured it was just too much to ship the darn machine...congrates!  '>
