This is
the Vendo Coin Changer, a unit that changes quarters and dimes into
the equivalent number of nickels.
The mechanical change system
(NOTE: the unit does not use any power!) is fully functional. Using 3M
chrome, plastic and paint polish plus lots of rubbing compound, I have
restored this unit to it's original splendor. |

The actual serial number plate from my machine
and a set of mystery initials with date.
The original paper
inserts included with my machine.
My machine also shipped with
two different paper inserts for the machine. The color "Have a Coke" sign
is the most frequently used insert (and, of course, the one I display), but
even more interesting is the black & white "Get your nickels here" place
card. I have never seen this before on any machines and was excited to
find this tucked behind the color display card.

Data...
There were two
different models of the Vendo Coin Changer produced in the 1940-1950s.
My model is the newer version, which can be easily identified by the
small window in the upper left corner that displays "EMPTY" when the
unit is out of change.
