You guys have got me interested in the candy machines now. My wife is sure to divorce me, V-DAY or otherwise! Anyway, I saw this one that is local and although it isn't a stoner it looks interesting to me. If I painted it a bright Stoner color it might "show" much better. What do you think is a fair price for this if it is working?

That's a National... Early 60s- VERY VERY Heavy! but about as tall as a
81 and very thin - about a foot deep from the wall.
I had 3 of them - I the most I paid was $175 for one.
They are awesome looking painted red. If it's complete and
cheap pick it up.... But get help!

Thanks Eric. When you say VERY heavy. How heavy are we talking? 200 pounds?

The owner of these (picture below) says they are National cig machines from the 1940s. Two questions: (1)Do these look like they are from the 40s?; and (2) Were these machines interchangeable between candy and cigs, or did they really make dedicated cig machines and dedicated candy machines?
EDIT: From looking at pictures of other machines, I see that they did make dedicated candy and cig machines. Could the cig machines still be used for candy, or are the slots too small?

They're 40s... They're cool look'n... Never seen the candy version that looks like that... you could always do candy cigarettes. Don't know if the areas are just the size of a pack or not...
The National I would say weighs around the same as a 81 maybe
a little lighter....
They were a bear to load (by myself) when I took them down to meet Joey...
Joey - what do you guess on the weight on these...

Get a shot of the inside, If they are like the stoners, then there is just a little platform for the product to sit on and that platform collapses when knob is pulled and item slides down into large dispenser area. so I would think it could be a mulivendor... ON another note about cigarette machines, I did see a very cool one where the words Cigarette and a graphic of a cigarette smoking was backlit but still etched into the mirror.. .very cool effect.. Just know the wife will NOT allow a cigarette machine in the house!!! still very cool... wish I had a photo of it.

I just went back and read the whole thread. I wonder if these could vend candy too? The auction I posted says they have others too. Boy I need more space.

Dan, Yeah, I saw the one on EBAY. I believe the seller on EBAY and the seller on Craigslist (where I got the pic above) are one on the same. My wife really wouldn't want a cigarette machine in the house and I don't say I really blame her...but if it doesn't say "Cigarette" on it and it can vend candy, well that is a different issue. The problem I foresee for vending candy though is that the compartments will be too small. A candy bar is about 5 inches by an inch and a half and I can't see it fitting. What do you guys think? (pics of another similar machine below)So many machines, so little time.
