I have been told this a Westinghouse Giant, is this correct? Does anyone have any idea how much it is worth? It is about 5 feet long and has an electric air compressor. It is in working condition.

Kerry, eBay item 150711336131 currently up for auction is a '40's salesman book, seller posted a number of pictures, including one showing a page with "10 Case Cavalier Giant". You should be able to compare (I think they look the same).

Sure looks like a giant http://soda-machines.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=640&Itemid=14 I would say the value depends on whether it works and who would be buying it ( C-C collector or game-roomer) WWRT?
I don't know if it is a Westinghouse or a Cavalier. The air compressor says Westinghouse. It works, but I have no idea what the value would be.
I'd say its a Westy, if that is what the compressor plate says.
