I recall the 5 cent machines and then later in 57 a rare 7 cent machine that was not a reach in. It was outside a gas station in the Ft Knox area. The machine I think you are referring to was the old nickel machine. You opened the top and slide the bottle, I think? There was an opener on the side or front. Coca Cola has an intersting site that shows all these old vending machines. I recall a vendio sp, machine. I looked them up about a year ago on ebay to buy one, and; they are not cheap. I do not have that kind of money for nostalgia. I would like one though.
