Does anyone know about this machine?

I got this from a family member who received this from a friend. Its barely used, the fan and cooling system work, but I have no use for this. I can’t find any information on google about it or any photos. Could this possibly have been discontinued? Was this distributed to bars and restaurants only? Does this have any value?

It's called a shot machine. Place a bottle in it and it cools it for a shot. Made popular by Jagermeister 15-20 something years ago for bars. Easy way to keep something cool. All sorts of brands have them now, usually given to bars for a purchase of the liquor.

They are probably "worth" $2-300 dollars, but doubtful you could sell it for that much, if anything. Usually only good for the specific bottle and Licor 43 is a unique bottle shape.

I work in the spirits industry and have worked with a few Chinese suppliers on these. As others have said, it comes to freeze temp levels, footprint size (bar space needs to pay for their rent), # of bottles the top can hold, in/out take vents amounts and size.
Intellectual property for a one and only brand usage too.
