Question

hershey
I found the attached machine at a garage sale.  Is it of much value?

Answer
Hi,

 The machine usually sells for 50.00 - 150.00 depending on condition. There are several different produts that would have been sold from the same machine. Hershey would probably bring the upper range as there are many collrctors of Hershey items,

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.
