SALESMAN SAMPLE ZEBCO HOT NUT MACHINE.

SALESMAN SAMPLE ZEBCO HOT NUT MACHINE. Upon examination of this coin operated hot nut dispenser and the leather case in which is contained, it is quite obvious a traveling salesman attempted to sell this machine to potential customers. This was never intended for use, and strictly used as a sales tool of the production machine. Glass globes are intact with decals and an unusual feature is a red faceted jewel between coin slots that would light up, indicating the machine was heating the nuts. On the left side of the machine is a cylindrical glass tube with an aluminum base, which held paper cups that the hot nuts could be deposited into. In addition, an alternative to the glass cylindrical tube is a nickel plated steel tube. Unfortunately, there is no paperwork to accompany this piece, but there is no question whatsoever that this is the proper case for this machine. Machine is constructed of polished aluminum and overall condition is very fine to near mint with only minor loss to decals. SIZE: Case: 16-1/2″ w x 20″ h. Machine: 11-1/2″ w x 18″ h. CONDITION: Apparently machine would have had aluminum caps on top of globes, but they are not present. 1-12281 (600-1,200)

Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Fall 2012

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
