Went a little out of my comfort zone today, but I feel like $100 was a deal for these three. Gold medal popcorn warmer, cigar vendor, and a clock. Any insight on these? I've seen the warmers around, seems complete, but haven't tested it yet. I need to dig into the cigar machine to see a brand, but doesn't seem too old, maybe 70s/80s? It's complete and works. I thought the clock was cool because it's a defunct beer company out of Colorado that is now making a comeback. It lights up. The guy had a bunch of other clocks and lights (mostly budweiser) as his step-dad used to have a bar.

Yep, that price for all three...sweet deal.  Does the cigar machine rotate around then vend?

Yes, I know I got out of there with a good deal.

Does the cigar machine rotate around then vend?

It has a knob at top that you spin around to select the cigar type (there's four sides). When you put a quarter in, there's an arm attached to the end of the vend mechanism with a metal clasp that looks to be about 2/3 the size of a normal cigar. I assume that it grabs a cigar from the bottom by pinching it with that clasp. There's a small box inside to add water for maintaining the humidity.
