Up for auction is a vintage 5 cent Atlas Bantam nut/candy vending machine from the 1940's. This machine is in nice cosmetic shape and works very well, but I'm selling it "For Parts or Restoration" because the nut dispenser inside the machine is extremely corroded. Very small pieces are breaking off of it every now and then. A previous owner left the machine in an attic with candy in it and the sugar corroded the dispenser. Everything else on the machine is in great shape. The metal is shiny, the globe is solid with no chips and the lock works well. If you're a collector of vintage vending machines, this item may be of interest to you.

If the shipping price appears high, I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do. I use the eBay shipping calculator that determines cost based on size, weight and distance the package will be traveling. Unfortunately, I live the farthest from the east coast that anyone could and so the further east a person lives from me, the more the USPS will charge. And shipping charges are very expensive these days. I refund the difference immediately if for any reason the calculator overcharges for shipping. Thanks for your understanding.
Please, no international bidders. Bids placed from outside of the US will be cancelled. I'm sorry.
Please see my other auctions if you are a collector of anything unusual. I'm in the process of getting rid of my collection of vending, slots, trade stimulators, old comics from the 60's, etc items. I'll be listing weekly until everything is gone. Thanks.
