I was walking home after school past a antique store 25 years ago. My eyes were drawn to a Coke machine in the window. I went inside to ask how old it was and if it worked. It was a complete working Vendo 44, the price $350. Income from my part time job was $90 a month. I purchased the machine with help from my family. It took me 6 months to pay off.
3 years later I purchased a 4 foot Coke button sign for $75.

Boy how prices have changed. The last Vendo 44 machine I sold for $2800 and Coke button $700
