Cracker Jack Vending Machine

[jefffarr13]

Hello All,

I'm so happy I ran into this forum. I've always been a fan of Cracker Jack. I stumbled upon this vending machine and wondered if someone might be kind enough to take a stab at its value? I'm considering an offer to buy it but want to make sure I understand it's value first. The seller said it has been sitting in a CO barn for decades. He'd like $475. The two photos are attached.

Thanks SO MUCH! I look forward to your replies!

Hi, jefffarr13

Welcome to the CJCA forum!

Looking over your photos I have a few questions. The Cracker Jack vending machine should be made out of sheet metal, if this is the case that one appears to be rusting badly all over!
Does this C. J. vending machine have working vending machine inside parts?
I can give you a better evaluation after these questions are answered thank you.
I would hold off on that $475.00, way too much, sellers offer until then.

By the way this inquiry should have been placed in the General Discussion section of the forum. A note for next time.
