EARLY DR. KERN’S HEADACHE REMEDY VENDING MACHINE.

EARLY DR. KERN’S HEADACHE REMEDY VENDING MACHINE. Extraordinarily rare and perhaps one-of-a-kind vending machine recently discovered in Pennsylvania and in as-found condition. The oak cabinet has aluminum panels with a plethora of advertising and information emblazoned on the sides. Although the machine was originally for a company in Bath, Penn., the aluminum advertising panels were manufactured by New Jersey Aluminum Co., Newark, NJ. Patent date on push rod (which dispenses product) is Sept. 29, 1903, hence dating the machine to the early 1900s. Mechanism is activated by dropping coin in right or left slot, pushing rod inward, and product is dispensed through lower receptacle. A truly unique and wonderful machine that appeals to vending as well as those who collect early pharmaceutical or medicinal remedies. SIZE: 6 ¾” w. x 15 ¼” h. x 6 ¾” d. CONDITION: Overall very fine original untouched condition. Top oak panel shows indication four nail holes. 1-4976 JL (5,000-10,000)

Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Fall 2005

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.
