It also has its originalpaper label inside the machine that reads “LEASED PROPERTY OF TURNBULL CONE& MACHINE CO. CHATANOOGA, TENNESSEE”. It’s extremely heavy so pick up ispreferred or I can ship it but it’s going to be pricey. I’d be willing to meetsomeone within 50 miles of Madison, WI as well in order to not have to ship it.This is a wonderful example in very nice, original condition. It measuresapprox. 38.5” tall x 10.5” wide and 8” deep. The condition is EXCELLENT with minimalwear. This dispenser works great and the lighting mechanism at the bottom worksas well. The cord has been replaced at some point but otherwise is COMPLETELYORIGINAL. You’ll be very hard pressed to find a better, complete example ofthis very rare ice cream cone dispenser. Please ask any questions and Iapologize for any glare or flash from the camera. Buyer pays shipping andinsurance. Good luck and good bidding!!!
