FOUND IN ATTIC!!!!:

[artzstuff1]

Found this beauty in a attic of a friends house yesterday!! spent all morning cleaning it and getting all the old gumballs out!!

It had a lock on the cash box, I used my trusty master key (Bolt cutters)to get into the cash box and it contained a few coins.

They were jefferson nickels and two old tokens all the coins in the box are pictured, nothing to old !!

Anyway I thought everyone would get a kick out of this,,,, thanks for lookin

AD-LEE "E-Z", From the "silent salesman too" encyclopedia of collectible vending machines (out of print) shows these machines go for about $800-1000..in 2002! (The last updated price guide I have)

I would be happy to help you further with pics from the book, these machines are RARE. do not clean or alter it! (especially the label on the glass)

This is a SWEET find! BANNER MATERIAL!

EDIT: If your machine is yellow and green "only ten percent of E-Z`S are yellow and green rather than all olive" price for the yellow/green in 2002 $925

Second edit: An ebay parts machine just sold for over $400!

Glad to help out, I just sold the vast majority of my machines, keeping only a cast iron Silver King. Your machine is fantastic! Thanks for posting it!

 

[artzstuff1]

That is so cool!

I bet if you licked the 100 year old fermented sugar residue off of that nickel, you just might be transported back in time to know the true history of that machine. :P

Seriously, that is an awesome relic. I just love stuff like that.

LOL . I never thought of that mule!!! that would be cool huh!!,,thanks
