Vintage circa 1950s Pepsi-Cola bottle vending machine manufactured by Vendorlator Manufacturing Co., Fresno, California, retaining its original blue-painted steel cabinet with rounded top and period Pepsi-Cola graphics. The front is marked “ICE COLD” and “10¢ Insert Two Nickels or One Dime,” with original coin slot, coin return, operating handle, built-in bottle opener, locking front service door, and lower “EMPTIES INSIDE” compartment. A small recessed Pepsi-Cola panel reads “Pepsi-Cola Hits the Spot,” while faded bottle-cap graphics remain visible on the sides and upper front. The rear is open to reveal the refrigeration compressor, condenser assembly, wiring, and other internal components. The manufacturer’s data plate remains attached and identifies Vendorlator Mfg. Co., Fresno, Calif. Presented in unrestored estate condition with extensive surface wear, scratches, scuffs, oxidation, paint loss, grime, faded graphics, and scattered rust consistent with age and commercial use; refrigeration, coin mechanism, and vending operation have not been tested and needs work. Measures 52"H x 24"W x 18"D.
