The History and Significance of the Vendo Bottle Decapper - A Rare Gem Worth Owning

Updated: Jan 8

Vendo Bottle Decapper


The Vendo Coca-Cola Bottle Decapper soda machine was manufactured between 1948 and 1949. A very large vending machine, (Dimensions: 78 in. high x 46 in. wide x 19 in. deep, Weight: 825 lbs.) It automatically opened a bottle of Coke, dispensed it into a cup, and then vended the cup to the customer without them ever coming into contact with the bottle. It could vend 194 bottles of Coke and dispense them into 6 oz. cups. These machines predated the “pre-mix” dispensers. Being very expensive models, only 251 of them were sold, making them very rare today. I was offered one for sale about 3 years ago for $175,000. I believe there are about 10 known today.
