There is something extremely beautiful and wonderful about old things. They hold a piece of history, the memory of times past. One such example of a retro artifact is the vintage coke machine. Yes, the antique coke machine that often used to be found in front of gas stations making ice cold beverages available to weary travelers.
Some of these old machines were made by companies like Vendo, Jacobs, and Westinghouse. Each had it's own unique design, further adding to the art-deco style these popular red and white machines are known for.
The old coke machine only sold bottles, not cans like today's machines often do. These bottles could range from 6.5 ounces to 12 ounces. A common sized bottle was the 8 ounce bottle. The bottles were made out of glass, not plastic like they are now.
Vintage Coke machines are hot collectibles these days. Many people will refurbish the old machines with new paint and/or stickers, new coin receivers, and/or new refrigeration equipment. Once restored, they often realize a nice profit on their handiwork.
There are several online websites operated by refurbishers of these lovely old vending machines. Some even offer a warranty so look around for extras like that. With a finite supply and a seemingly ever-increasing demand, old Coke machines are sure to appreciate in value so if you're thinking of buying one, there's no time like the present!
