PRICE FROM VCA AUCTION NEEDED

Postby Midcoast Vintage » Thu Dec 25, 2014 12:14 am

I need the price an item brought to settle a bet.
A couple years ago, when vca did the Mel Getlan collection, they sold a HAPPY JAP gum vendor.
Does anyone recall what the machine brought?
I believe the juice was 20% at that auction.
Thanks in advance.

If it was the fall of 2013 with the follwing description then it sold for $1100 plus a 20% buyers premium.

Lot 1000 - 1 Cent White Vending Machine Co. "Happy Jap" Partially Original Countertop Gum Vending Machine w/ plate marked "White Vending Machine Co. Pat. Aug. 25, 1902". This is the model w/ the 2 gum slots (one on each side of the mouth). Wood base, Front half is cast-iron and back half is aluminum w/ keys.

Maybe the "Happy Jap" above, in the Oct. 2013 VCA auction, was an item left over, or
later consigned from the Mel Getlan collection, but the actual Getlan Collection auction,
was held in May 2012, and there was no "Happy Jap" in that auction.
