This Candy Mart candy vending machine looks to be a 1960’s model. The brochure touts its flexibility, that it could be mounted on a wall, placed on a counter or used as a console on the floor. The large capacity of this vendor allowed for between 3- and 400 candy bars, and 7 different selections. All that was necessary was to insert the proper coins, pushing the button for the selection, and the candy was deposited into the chute for the customer.

These were probably more common, as I recall having one of these at in my college break area in the 80’s. Have you also seen one of these? If you have a comment, please send us an email.
