Queens rubbish removal company finds Univendo vending machine in laundromat basement cleanout!

Some garbage companies pick up grimy garbage. Mine picks up vintage vending machines.

This vending machine was made by Stoner Manufacturing Company (in Aurora, Illinois), which is marked on the small sticker on the front. It’s a Univendo, which was a type of vending machine made in the 1930s and 1940s. I found the machine on a laundromat basement clean out job in Brooklyn. Most of the machines take only nickels and dimes — but this one takes only nickels, which is perfect, because that’s about all I’m making these days (so if you know of anyone who needs rubbish removed, clutter removed, or compaction service, send them my way … 718-326-6969).

The entire machine is made of metal, which looks like it has been sprayed with an unusual shade of metallic brown spray paint. Both the top and base parts of the machine are removable, so it can be screwed to the wall.

After I conducted a basic Internet search, I learned that units very similar to this one were used in the 1930s for cookies, candy, cigarettes and soda. They all had different appearances; some had chrome plating in unusual shapes, and others had painted-on pinstriping. Some had big-lettered signs that indicate what it sold. For example, a vending machine that sold cookies would say “COOKIES” in giant letters across the front. This one, though, is sign-less, and was used for small boxes of soap powder that were sold in laundromats.

I swear, the people who hire me to do these rubbish removal and cleanout jobs must know I have my own personal museum in Ridgewood, Queens. Every time I’m on the job, I leave with a new antique — I can’t get enough of this! Garbage removal always reveals a hidden treasure.
