    • Jameson Whiskey Vending Machine, 1971
    Quite possibly the best invention of the 1970’s!

    This machine was designed to dispense whiskey in public places on a coin operated basis (3 x 10p coins per whiskey). It is the only vending machine in the world designed to serve straight whiskey. The machine was dead stock and has never been used. Having spent the last 51 years in its box the internal mechanics will need someone to recondition to working order if desired. Video and photo restoration instructions available.
    The machine accepts 1960’s – 1980’s Irish 10p coins
    (coins included).
    3 x 10p coins per glass of Jameson.
    It has a light oak finish and comes complete with keys.
    Superb display and conversation piece for a pub or home bar. Only in Ireland would you find such an invention. A must have for any whiskey enthusiast or collector. Better investment than gold or silver. Great conversation piece for a home bar/ public bar/ designer pub as a nostalgic feature from a bygone era. Don’t miss it! You will never find another!
