I found this at a local flea market and purchased the box for $20. I know nothing about it. The only indication is the latches were produced by the Eagle Lock Co. of Connecticut.
The box has dovetailed joints and lid is hinged on top.
I'd like to restore it but would first want to know what its original purpose was so I can find missing hardware.
I'd also like to know potential value to see if it is worth restoring or if I should sell as is.
We really do not know much about this machine. Most of the candy machines we have researched online have 6 or 8 pull knobs but this one has 7. The middle slot is much wider than the others. We are curious as to who the manufacturer might be and what it might be worth.
Black, stand-up victrola has been in my family since, at least, my mother was a child. I believe my famiy's history with this phonograph goes back further than that, though.
the stein is white with red and gold decoration all around it.there are knights in gold armour holding spears,swords,and shields.theres a shield on the front with some type of bird inside the shield and it says frankfurt above the shield.the lid of the stein seems to be made of pewter.on the bottom of the stein "made in western germany" is printed in gold lettering.when you open the lid of the stein and hold it up to light and look inside of it you can see a women sitting down,she has a dress on and her legs are crossed.its actually pretty neat.
