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.
Many of these retro machines were produced by a company that was founded in 1937 in Kansas City, Missouri. Before these vending machines began being sold, soda was often sold in buckets filled with ice. In many cases, customers were trusted to put their money in a box or can that was left beside the sodas. This was not an effective way of selling soda.
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.
Many people spend their time refurbishing these old machines. They then sell the antique coke machine for a profit. This is a good business because a lot of people have fond memories of the days of the old machines. Using these to both decorate their house and cool their sodas is a great way to remember the old times.
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!
