Paul Bunyan’s Cook Shanty
Minocqua, WI
This machine is no longer here. The listing stays up because collectors come back years later to check whether the one they remember was real.
From collectors
The Machine inside near rest rooms. Designs are:
1) 'I Love You', hearts with arrow through,
2) 'Paul Bunyan Minocqua, Wisconsin', Him facing forward with blue,
3) 'Minocqua', Image of State,
4) 'Paul Bunyan Minocqua, Wisconsin', Bunyan walking right.
9/13/2021: The restaurant is closed because of staffing issues and a death in the family. No word on how long it will be closed.
10/16/2021 Even though they're closed they will still press pennies if you mail your pennies to them. They even sent me several postcards. I really wish they were open when I was there.
8/25/23: Location is still closed. :(
7/27/26: Location is now permanently closed.
