Bastian
Blessing Soda Fountain w/ 12 Stools, 6 Booths, Syrup Dispensers & More
Here is an original Bastian Blessing Soda Fountain w/ Original Backbar,
12 Soda Fountain Stools, 6 Booths, Syrup Dispensers, Grill, Hood & Accessories.
The entire stainless steel set-up behind the counter is included and
pictured below. Please be sure to view all the pics. The Bastian Blessing Soda Fountain company was the largest and best known of all soda fountain manufactures. The business was started in the late 1800's and they were located in Chicago and expanded from there. There is a nice history about the firm, its founders, and some great pics of other vintage soda fountains at a site called www.retroplanet.com
This Vintage Bastian Soda Fountain is installed in what was Hooks Drug Store in Lyons IN. The entire unit was installed there in 1953 after a fire and was in use until the drug store closed its doors sometime in the 60's. It is in very nice overall condition. The counter is 24' long and Formica covered. There are 12 vintage round soda fountain stools mounted out in front, and just behind them are 6 matching booths w/ seating that have an interesting retro design. When looking at the pics the empty area in the backbar is where the grill & hood were located. The are still on site and included in the package price. Most of the backbar is stainless steel as is the dispenser and prep area below the counter. It all looks to be in very nice condition showing just minimal wear. The refrigeration unit is not working and we are not sure why.
This original Bastian Soda Fountain is still in place as shown, and will have to be taken apart and removed by the buyer / new owner. We will help in any way we can, and will answer questions or provide additional pics if needed, but again removal and installation will be the new owners responsibility.
This vintage soda fountain is a wonderful opportunity to recreate an authentic 1950's era soda fountain in a diner, retro ice cream shop, candy store or other appropriate location. It could even be adapted as the centerpiece of a TV set like Happy Days used in that popular TV how.

Drawer Oak Hardware Parts Cabinet This is a great General Store
or Hardware Store parts cabinet. There is a label attached at the base that
gives the maker and location in the upper Midwest. It reads "Riverside
Hardware Cabinet Farwell Ozum Kirk & Co. St. Paul Minn. Pat. Pending".
This was a hard piece to take nice photos of as it is still in use and being used for its original intended purpose. The board above displays what is currently stored in it, and is not part of the unit. It is in a very tight and cramped area. Note that it has 3 different depth drawers, with 2 steps down near the bottom. All told it has over 120 different drawers in different sizes. Each of the upper drawers are 12" deep and the lower ones are 16" and 20" deep. It stands just about 5' 2" tall and is 62" long. There is some minor water damage to the rear corners along the back, but the front looks great, and is in great condition. This is a piece you will not see or find again in a long time.
