A remarkable New Old Stock VendWorx find dating directly to 1997.Offered here is a complete VendWorx dual gumball/candy vending machine system in the striking original deep green and gold-tone finish, complete with two clear-globe vending machines, matching dual mounting platform, substantial furniture-style wooden pedestal stand, and key.What separates this example from the typical vintage vending machine is its remarkable history and condition.This setup comes from a group of unused estate inventory that remained stored away for nearly three decades rather than spending its life in commercial service. Original VendWorx shipping documentation preserved with the inventory is dated October 10, 1997, providing direct period provenance for these machines.VendWorx itself can be documented as an operating Utah company during the late 1990s, but this distinctive style of machine has long since disappeared from current production. Specialist vending-machine suppliers now treat VendWorx machines as discontinued legacy equipment, and original factory components are no longer routinely available through normal vending-machine parts channels.In other words, these are not modern reproductions of an old-fashioned machine — they are surviving unused examples from the original VendWorx era.The complete vending system was originally supplied in separate commercial components:VendWorx vending heads • dual mounting platform • heavy wooden pedestal standWhen assembled, the result is the impressive complete setup pictured in this listing.The wooden pedestal deserves special mention. This is not a lightweight hollow novelty stand. It is constructed from thick, substantial, heavy wood and has a sturdy furniture-like feel that gives the dual vending machines excellent stability and a much more substantial presence in person.The combination of rich green bodies, ornate gold-tone fronts, large clear globes and the heavy wooden pedestal gives this machine a beautiful old-fashioned appearance that is difficult to duplicate with modern vending equipment.Why this example is special* Original VendWorx inventory documented to 1997* New Old Stock / unused estate inventory* Stored for nearly 30 years* Discontinued VendWorx design* No longer in current production* Complete dual-machine configuration* Matching heavy wooden pedestal and mounting platform* Thick, sturdy, substantial construction* Includes key* Original factory cartons and identifying labels preserved* Original dated shipping documentation shown in the photographs* Only five complete sets from this estate inventory are currently being offeredFinding an older vending machine is not especially difficult. Finding one that survived unused, complete, documented and stored away since the 1990s is a very different proposition.This would make an outstanding centerpiece for a game room, home bar, man cave, restaurant, barbershop, candy store, office, showroom, retail display or vintage vending collection.Limited estate inventoryI currently have five complete unused sets from this estate collection.This does not mean that only five VendWorx machines were originally manufactured. Rather, these are the only five complete NOS sets from this particular estate inventory currently available.Once these preserved sets have been sold, I cannot guarantee access to additional unused examples from this source.ShippingThe machine shown in the primary photographs has been fully assembled for presentation, allowing buyers to see exactly how substantial and attractive the finished setup is.For shipping, the vending system will be carefully packed in its component form to protect the glass globes, finish and heavy wooden pedestal during transit. Straightforward assembly will therefore be required upon arrival.For local pickup, an assembled unit may be available if preferred.Original cartons and the dated VendWorx documentation are photographed for provenance. Any previous owner’s personal information appearing on historical shipping labels will be digitally redacted for privacy.Please review all photographs carefully. They document the condition, original packaging, factory markings and 1997 provenance of this unusual New Old Stock VendWorx estate find.
