description:  The Vendo 23 model was manufactured from 1949 through 1959.  It could vend 23 sodas and pre-cool 7.  The Antique Warehouse has a standard model, a deluxe model was also available.  The deluxe model had an embossed Coca-Cola logo on the front with a silver top.  However, the logo on this machine is painted on and it has a red top.  The Vendo logo on the bottom right corner of the machine is embossed.

information:  This relatively small, light weight soda machine was referred to as a "spin top" model.  This is because the top of the machine had a circular section that would spin to the next available selection.  A hole was cut out allowing your soda to be pulled out of the machine.
