Comments
The Jacobs 56, generally referred to as a "Pepsi Lite-Up" and is probably the most collectible of the Jacobs line. The large Pepsi Cap on the front lights up thus the nickname "Pepsi Lite-Up". This model vends with the more traditional crank handle like many others of this era. The FL Jacobs 56 and FL Jacobs 50 rely on shelves to vend the bottles whereas the other Jacobs models utilized a vending drum.
