Jet-Spray orange and grape drink machines for the luncheonette. Mission Orange and Nu-Grape Soda ("A Flavor You Can't Forget") are the brands offered.

Ah, Nu-Grape! I used to love getting glass bottles of it from a vending machine at a local museum near where I grew up, as a kid. Loved grape sodas ever since.

I won't derail your thread by posting my own photos, but I have a Nu-Grape sign from the 1930s on the outside wall of a country store on my own layout, out of love for the brand.

As for your earlier comment about modelling the subways as you wanted to remember them as clean, I totally get that. I think we all model something we wish had been so, and often not as it really was, but it's no less special or impressive that way.

I love your work with all this, it's quite amazing!
