Produced in in the late 1940's to the mid 1950's the Cavalier-27 is a small but unique vendor. Original model came with a crank handle that reassembled a "ship steering wheel". Later models came with the star handles as seen on the left. Out of the two version the "ships wheel" version is harder to find and thus more valuable.

Like all the other Cavalier machines this machine was produced exclusively for Coca Cola.

The bottle doors, coin bezel, and bottle cap removal bezel are typically chromed.

The earlier models were produced in the typical "all red" design. After 1956 all new models were painted red with a white top to market the "Ice Cold" and "Refreshing" image.

All Cavalier-51 models came with the words "Drink Coca-Cola" embossed on the top and sides. On the bottom in bold letters "ICE COLD" was embossed.
