Cavalier Corporation Soda Machine Company

Originally starting as a sawmill, the Tennessee Furniture Company of Chattanooga opened in 1865. It began as an offshoot of the sawmill, in order to sell off the flawed pieces of wood that wouldn’t have sold otherwise. Gaston Raoul was the second owner of the furniture company. He bought an additional enterprise, the Odorless Refrigeration Company, in 1905, which enabled the Tennessee Furniture Company to rapidly become the largest manufacturer of ice coolers in the country. They chose the name “Cavalier” in 1923 for their line of cedar hope chests and soda coolers but they continued to make furniture in the division known as the Tennessee Furniture Company until 1960.

In 1935, during the Depression, the Cavalier division of the Tennessee Furniture Company began a long-standing relationship with the Coca-Cola Company. Under the name “Cavalier”, they made soda machines, coolers and picnic chests to the exacting specifications of the Coca-Cola Company. In 1938 the company name was officially changed to the Cavalier Corporation. Some of the early coolers made by Cavalier include the Junior, Standard, Master and Giant model chest coolers. Cavalier made products exclusively for Coca-Cola right through the 1960’s. In 1958 Cavalier advertising proclaimed they had sold “more than half a million coolers since 1935”.

Post-WWII most vendor manufacturers were focusing on the production of upright machines, but Cavalier continued to concentrate on coolers. In 1945 they introduced the model FD-2, or the dry office cooler. It was designed for low-traffic areas like offices and retail stores. Cavalier joined other manufacturers in producing upright coin-operated vending machines in 1953 when they introduced the C-51. It had a very similar appearance to the Vendo-39; only it was larger and able to vend 51 bottles, as opposed to the Vendo’s 39 bottles.

One of the most popular Cavalier models of vending machine is the CS-72 that was produced from 1958 to 1959. This is still a very desirable machine, since it is able to vend up to nine different flavors of soda. It holds eight bottles on nine slant shelves, instead of using a conveyor system that was capable of vending only one type of soft drink. This innovative model was the first to be designed without the crank handle on the outside. Instead, once the money is deposited, the “Have a Coke” lens lights up, indicating the door is ready to be opened and a bottle of soda pulled out. Cavalier was responsible for many “firsts” in the vending market. The Cavalier Corporation was also the first to introduce a vending machine that was able to dispense either bottles or cans of soda. This was the “square-corner” C-55D vendor introduced in 1959. In the 1960’s Cavalier was taken over by the Seeburg Corporation. In turn, Seeburg was taken over by a succession of companies. In 1987 the Cavalier division filed for bankruptcy and was spun off as an employee-owned company. In August of 2000 the plant was closed for good.

  • 22 vintagevending // May 5, 2009 at 2:38 pm

    Jon and Belinda,

    For lost keys, you can either try to purchase a key that matches the lock number on your machine, or you can replace the lock mechanism. This requires drilling the lock, turning it with a flat head screwdriver to open it, removing the lock, and replacing it. I can email you the directions.

  • 23 phillipe // May 19, 2009 at 2:28 am

  • 33 A Nowell // Aug 7, 2009 at 8:16 pm

    Hi
    I’m sure you get a lot of these questions. I acquired a very old Coke machine and have been told it was one made in the first year that the Coca-Cola company stopped making “round top” machines and began making “square top” machines. The machine itself is not very high – maybe 5 or so feet? It has a flat front, and the only other features on front are the Coke Logo, a coin insert and a dispenser at the bottom. No doors, nothing to select from, all it served was a Coke at one time. About 3 years ago, I had it stored in my garage. One day the garage door was open, and a passerby stopped and offered me $3,000.00 for it. I did not sell it, but I did move it inside my house! At this particular moment in time, I wish I had sold it.

    So, as a busy single mother of two, I have finally sat down to take some time to research this treasure that I have. I do not know what year it was made. I am unable to take a digital picture for the purpose of downloading. All I can tell you is that it was made by the Cavalier Corp. in Chattanooga, TN. Serial number is 410841, model C-59E. Other misc info: 6 amps, test pressure 235 lbs.

    Do you know anything about this machine, or can you point me in the right direction?

    Thank you,
    A. Nowell

    I have a Pepsi machine with the model # 1uss-64401 made by the cavalier corporation. I have read that cavalier had a relationship with coca-cola however, this machine is advertises pepsi-cola. It is a square top machine with a glass door and hold eight different sodas. I am trying to acquire some information on this machine. Please send me a website or any information that maybe available on this machine.

  • 62 vintagevending // Mar 8, 2010 at 3:48 pm

    Shera,

    Up until the 1950’s all Cavalier models were produced exclusively for Coca-Cola. After this, they started doing other soda companies, like Pepsi. The only machine I could find that was close to yours can be seen here: http://kiddieridemall.com/bandbuss64cokemachine.htm
    You could try ebay or Craig’s List to see if anyone has posted a machine like yours, this could give you more information.

    Hi Pat,

    I’m not able to give you a value on worth, but I can tell you this machine is not extremely common. It was made in the late 50s by Cavalier, and sold to 7-Up. This was uncommon, since Cavalier had always made machines for Coca-Cola.

  • 75 vintagevending // May 17, 2010 at 11:37 am

    Mark,

    From your description, it looks like you have a Cavalier USS-96 which was manufactured in the 1970s. Try this link: http://soda-machines.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=293&Itemid=14
    This site also offers a forum to post your machine, and ask for a value on it. We can’t help you out with the worth, as we are not appraisers.

    We recently bought a used bed (headboard, footboard, and wood side rails)for my son’s college apartment. When we started cleaning it we found a tag reading, “Tennessee Furniture Company.” It’s serial number stamp is 919. Do you have any additional information regarding this company or the age of the bed?
    Thank you for any information you might post.

    Debbie,

    It was made prior to 1960, because that year is when they stopped producing furniture. Sorry, but I don’t have any more information than that.

    I picked up a very decent CS-64 (D or E, not sure how to distinguish) this past weekend. Looks like it spent quite a bit of it’s life indoors, needs a little shot of freon. The mech was set for 20 cents.

    Not pristine, not worth as much as the round-tops, but I’m happy with it! Ran across this post while researching parts, etc. Great site… thanks! -from a first time Coke vending machine owner…

    I recently purchased a Cavalier CAV-120.

    It runs but I would like to restore / replace some of the pieces. Do you know who might have parts for this machine, or where I might find a repair manual?

    I recently aquired a Cavalier Corp G8-392 pop machine. I am having difficulty figuring out how to change the prices.
