I bought this Cigarette Vending machine at auction some 18+ yrs ago. I have it displayed in my house. It is made by something.... electric co. I forget. It takes Nickles, Dimes, & Quarters. the top also lights up when plugged in. When I opened it up for the first time it had some lucky strike wrappers in the bottom and also a 1945 Quarter. I'm thinkin 1940's ??? Any other collectors no anymore & would like to share info. that would be great !!!
