My Dad worked as a parts man in a Massey Harris dealer in the early 50s and they had a Coke machine like this one in the 'Showroom'. I remember standing on the empty Coke cases to get a drink from the fountain. The water was so cold it hurt your teeth! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]



I found an identical machine (with the fountain attached) in an Antique store in Springfield a few years back. At $1200, I was tempted to take it home. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]
