Although formed in 1937 in Kansas City, Missouri, the Vendo Company's reputation amoung collectors stems from their product line of the 1950's. Certainly, their invention and sales of the "Vendo Top" in the late 30's ranks as a significant milestone in the evolution of the Coke cooler and should not be overlooked. When adapted to wet coolers made by other manufacturers such as Cavalier and Westinghouse, the Vendo Top allowed for coin-op action where the lid was rotated to a stationary bottle in ice. This was an advancement over earlier mechanisms requiring the movement of the bottles to a single opening in the lid. The most collectible of these for around $10, installed one of their tops to dispense 23 bottles, and sold the unit for $35 in 1939. A larger 39 bottle version was also available which used a stationary drum in the horizontal position virtually identical to the drum that was later used in the upright Model V-39. Compressors were added in the 40's taking the place of ice.

It was the company's introduction of a new line of upright coin-operated machines, following World War II, which earned them the recognition they command among collectors today. Beginning with the V-83 in 1946 and followed closely by the V-39 in 1949, these two machines accounted for over 200,000 units on location between the years 1946 to 1957. Of these two, the Model V-39 ranks as the single most widely recognized Coke machine among collectors today. The crank handle and small bottle door are the two distinguishing features which people most remember about the Coke machine during the "Golden Age" of the 1950's. And while there were other machines which embodied these same features, the V-39, through its sheer numbers and lenth of production (over 80,000 units in 9 years), ranks it as number one.

If the V-39 ranks as the most recognized machine today, its smaller cousin, the V-44, ranks as the single most highly collected of the upright coolers. To go along with its compact size, only 16" wide x 57 1/2" high, the V-44 has the look, with its crank handle, that makes it so desirable. While not rare, a little over 8000 units were made between the years 1956-1959, it is certainly less common than, for example, the V-39. It should be noted that the Vendorlator company made thousands of a virtually identical unit to the V-44, the only real difference, being the absence of the chrome coin entry bezel found on the Vendo version. Both machines use two vertical chutes to vend 44 6 ounce bottles with room in the bottom to pre-cool another 9 bottles. The machines came priced originally as either 5 cent, 6 cent or 10 cent. Another note worthy feature of the 44 was its original color scheme of white over red. Beginning in 1955, the Coca-Cola Company was encouraging distributors to bring all red coolers in from location and undergo "Operation Face-lift." In the words of Dupont, manufacturer of much of the paint used on vintage machines, the top 12" or so of each machine was to be painted with multiple coats of "pure 'iceburg' white that suggest the cooling natural goodness of Coke."

Another desirable model from the company is the V-81. Often found as a white-top machine (it was introduced in 1955), the V-81 is physically the same size as the V-39 but radically different in its method of dispensing bottles. Departing from the usual drum mechanism, this machine holds 9 bottles on each of 9 shelves. The shelves are slanted towards a glass (actually Plexiglas) door on the left of the machine. The shelves are adjustable to accommodate 6, 10, or 12 ounce bottles giving this machine more versatility than most of the other models.

As an example of its dominance during the Golden Age of Coke machines, 1956 saw the Vendo Company offering no less than 6 highly collectible models in the V-23, V-39, V-44, V-80, V-81 and V-110. Original sales literature for the company was telling the industry in late 1955 to "mark 1956 as a great year and follow the new Vendo V-Line with confidence!" Truly prophetic words.

61.These Next 5 photos here are to show you how easy it is for you to get fooled by an Internet Photo. These next 5 photos are of our Competitor's Restorations. These are machines that were traded in to our company this year toward vintage machines that our company restored. Customers who did not realize what they were buying on the internet traded these vendors into us. This photo is of a Vendorlator 27 soda Machine. It was taken with a controlled light system. It really looks pretty good in this photo. Now - Click on the next photo # 98 and you will be suprised. This is the same machine and the finish of the machine is not protected by a soft light in the photo. This shows the machines true colors and this is the machine your Eye sees when you unpack it from the Crate ."

62. Click on this photo. In Photo #97 , the photo was taken so you could not see the foggy water release decal. It is all in the way you hold the camera."

63. Here is a great looking machine! Right? At least that is what the customer who bought it off the internet from a photo thought. Click on Photo number 100 and 101 to see the machine the way your eye will see it when you uncrate your new purchase."

64. This is a water release decal on the side of a Vendo 39. This looked good in photo #99 because the of the camera angle and the lighting used to take the photo. It is a different story when you are standing 3 feet from the machine. This machine is painted in a cheaper single stage paint. It looks great in photo 99 because of the photo lighting used and the angle of the camera."

65.Photo number two of how bad a water release decal looks when it is not protected under the Clear Coat. This looks great in photo 99. This customer traded his machine in on one of our screenprinted restorations ."
