Question
i have a 1951 toms peanut and cracker vending machine and dont have a key for it. Where can i find one (looking to buy it). if you dont know do you know any one that would
Hi,
If you have a locksmith friend, then you are in luck. Otherwise, it would be tough to find a key. I guess I would then try picking the lock. Last resort is to drill it out.
I do not know if they used different locks, but you might could try to find the same machine for sale on Ebay and see if that person would make you a copy.

Expertise
I am able to answer questions on old coin operated machines. These include vending machines such as gumball or peanut or other machines such as trade stimulators that did not dispense a product but were positioned on a store's counter to bring in customers or stimulate trade. I specialize in machines by Pulver, Zeno, and Mansfield and also any old cast iron or wood machines.
Experience
I have been collecting these type of machines for about 10 years and have traveled the country to antique shows and auctions.
Organizations
Coin operated collectors association
Education/Credentials
I have learned about many of these machines from traveling to view the collections of others.
