Description

RARE Antique Vtg Seltzer Soda Siphon Double Refill Machine W/ Bottling Equipment
Presented for sale is an
Antique Seltzer Commerical Refiller & Bottling Machine
.
This is for **LOCAL PICKUP ONLY**.
These
cannot fit in the back of a car or SUV
and will need to be put into the back of a pickup truck, moving truck, or trailer.
We have a forklift to help load them, but we DO NOT have the capability to offer freight shipping.
This set-up came from a man’s seltzer business who lived in the Czechoslovakia / Serbia area.
He came to the US over 50 years ago and brought his bottles and equipment with him. We believe these pieces to be from the 1950s-1960s.
Both the dual cage refiller and the bottling machine are included here. They are both very heavy, metal machines and have minimal rust, especially compared to other soda seltzer refillers we have seen.
Not much information can be found on these machines anymore. The filling stands were designed with a protective cage that covered the seltzer bottle as it was being filled to protect the operator from injury if the bottle were to explode in the process. I have only found old advertisements for the actual seltzer machines, but none are for sale anywhere.
The dual filler measures
45” in height, 35” in width,
and
27” in depth.
Base measures
27” x 15 1/2”.
Seltzer cages measure
6” x 9 3/4”.
The seltzer machine measures
62” in height and 31” in width.
Tank measures
9 1/2” x 9”.
The owner used these to bottle his own seltzer long after his business was closed. At a point he put the machines in storage and stopped using them, but they were working when he put them away.
This is being sold AS IS.
We plugged in the seltzer carbonator and there was no noise or movement, we suspect the motor froze up from being in storage for so long.
These machines would be a great restoration project. It is very hard to find this kind of equipment now and we have never
seen another on Ebay, especially in this good of condition.
This is for **LOCAL PICKUP ONLY**
This rare seltzer set is ONLY local pickup.
Both of these machines 100lbs and
cannot be shipped.
