Vintage Coke machine (from WWII era) with Glass Jug (Original,still works)

Description: I'm selling this authentic Coca Cola machine that I purchased a few years back from a WWII veteran. He stated that he brought it with him from Germany. I found a little story behind these types of Coca Cola machine soda dispenser with a glass jug on top. During World War II, Coca-Cola machines were quite different from the ones we see today. These machines typically featured a sturdy metal exterior, often painted in a vibrant red color, adorned with the iconic Coca-Cola logo. They were built to withstand harsh conditions and were often found in various locations, including military bases, factories, and public areas. A Coca-Cola machine from that era might have had a distinct design, possibly with a glass jug dispenser. The machine would have been equipped with a cooling system to keep the beverages cold. Inside, the glass jug would hold the Coca-Cola syrup, and when someone inserted a nickel (5 cents), the machine would dispense the soda into a cup or a bottle. These machines operated on a simple mechanism. Customers would insert a nickel coin, pull a lever or press a button, and then the machine would pour a serving of Coca-Cola into a waiting container. The glass jug would be replenished regularly by service personnel who would refill the syrup and ensure the machine was functioning correctly. During wartime, Coca-Cola became a symbol of American culture and was often provided to soldiers as part of their rations. The 5-cent cost for a Coke was a common price during that era and remained relatively consistent for many years after the war. Overall, the WWII-era Coca-Cola machine with a glass jug and cooler represented a piece of Americana, providing a refreshing drink to people during a challenging period in history. This is what I found online about it! I 'm willing to ship it if the buyers arranges for transportation to pick the machine plus the glass jar! I do not want anything to break!
