Useful Information for Soda Collectors

Machine Information

Chest Coolers and Uprights. Chest coolers were produced from the late 1920's through the late 1950's.  The 1950s brought on the upright coin-operated, mechanically-actuated soda machines. All upright machines are refrigerated.

Round vs. Square. Round-top soda machines were produced through the 1959 model year. The 1960's brought with it the beginning of the square-top versions. Most square-top machines are not embossed.  Some square corner machines have light up panels in the front.
