Vintage 5 Cent Hersheys Candy Vending Machine 1937 Original Shipman Mfg. Company

This has never been restored. It works perfect and comes from the southern part of Texas. It was made by the SHIPMAN MANUFACTURING COMPANY in Los Angeles Calif. It could be used either as a counter display or mounted to the wall. This one was probably last used in the early 1940's.

The reason I say this is when I bought this about 10 years ago I replaced the lock because I couldn't get anyone to make a key for it. When I got it opened I found an old blank check from the Commercial State Bank of Sinton, Texas in the coin metal tray that has a date of 1940. This will be included in the sale.

The machine still looks new inside and out. The front cover is a brown and white porcelain.

Both the inside and outside have a brown crinkle finish. This machine also has a aluminum plate for the front that says Candy and Nuts (fresh as the dawn) that has to be kind of rare.

This is the only one I have ever seen with this trim piece. All of the brown design on the front of the porcelain is raised about 1/8.

There is a number 1473 stamped on the inside internal working mechanism. The outside is 18" tall, 7 1/2" deep and 8 1/2 wide. The 2 inside compartments for the candy bars are 2" wide and 4" deep.

I hope I have answered all your questions. I tried to describe this to the best of my knowledge. For a machine of this age it's in amazingly good condition, it certainly couldn't have been used very much. Thanks again for looking and have a great day.
