John, tell me more about your U-Need-A-Pak, and please put an email or number on your post. I need more information on those machines. The inventor, Louis Steiner, is my grandfather.

I have recently aquired two Dugrenier Cigarette Machines. They are exact twins other then the color. They have 12 to 15 available selections and are 1950’s or 1960’s era machines. One is Pink the other is Green. The coin slot on one is 25 cents the other is 40 but looks like it was increased from 25. I am happy to provide pictures if there is an interest in these and will sell them once I understand more about what they are worth or have an offer I cannot refuse. I am located in Sacramento California.
No Rust no damage on one the other has been pried open but would repair easily. I am already getting a quote to repair the damaged one. I look forward to hearing from anyone that may have knowladge of these units. They were stored inside where I purchased them and have been for many years. they are approx 4 feet tall 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep. The only writting is the name it is written in chrome letters accross the entire front of the machine. They are about an inch tall.

I’ve been getting about 200.00 to 250.00 for the 9 column machine in decent condition. usually knobs are covered in surface rust. If you got good knobs may be worth a bit more. Not moving like they were a few years ago.

Hello
I have a very similar vending machine to this one. It has a the name of the company U-Need-A-Pack on the front. I can’t find much information about this about this company though. I was also thinking about restoring it. Does any one know how to get parts? I was also wondering if this machine vends packs or dispenses single cigarettes?

As for the types of vending machines, I’m with the other guys in their thoughts. The odd foot one looks more like ROWE styling and this other one the DuGrenier.

I have 2 Stoner vending machines I am selling. I believe 1 is a Junior and the other is a Univender (candy, gum & mint). I am located in Western Washington State. I do have them both listed on Ebay Classifieds.com. I’ve had these machines for twelve years and I’ve always wanted to restore them, but never have had the right moment to do so. They are unique and would make someone a nice piece for their business or rec. room.

Brenda,

Keep an eye out on eBay and Craig’s List for an item like yours. That should give you an estimate of what yours is worth. If anyone can help with the value of this item, please comment.

To use a token, you will have to take the magnet out of the top mechanism. The magnet catches odd metals instead of coins.
