I've never seen that paint scheme you have on your War Eagle. I just sold one 2 weeks ago, an early version with no denomination button up top and the early escalator variation of 1931. Original paint and all. Post a picture of yours, I'd like to see it! Chances are that War Eagle was repainted many years ago. I've owned and operated a Vending company for years and it's not uncommon to get a machine in from the route to clean it up or repaint them to go to another location. That's called "rotating equipment". Yes, it may be a 60 yr. old paint job, but one a vendor has done.---just my 2 cents.
