Bill,
not the first coin machine, the 40's Mills machines were coin op, yours will need a drum of course.
Nice original paint.

Icy-O and Glascock had coin operated machines in the 20s and 30s.

You were told wrong, Icy-O was building coin operated coolers for coke in the 1920s, Glascock made coin operated coolers in the late 1920s-early 1930s, Westinghouse Chests in the 40s used Vendo coin operated tops, Mills had several upright coin operated vendors in the early 1940s Mills 45, 47, 98, etc. Vendo 83s were built mid 40s into the early 50s. and there is more that I havent listed.

I'm with cokeandstuff. Havent looked at my Coke machine reference book in a while but I do remember Icy-O and Glasscock having very early coin ops from the 20's. Heres the Glascock reference http://soda-machines.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=154&Itemid=14And prior to that were the ice only coolers and you would "pay the clerk". Who knows who was actually "first". Some of the earliest coin model companies may have come and gone in a small test market and nobody remembers/or has an example of one.
