Cavalier 27 Machine Information

About the Cavalier 27

The Cavalier C-27 is one of the most sought-after machines you could name in a conversation. They were created by Cavalier specifically for low-volume places, like pharmacies and corporate offices. What makes this particular Cavalier machine is that less than 6000 units were made. That’s why they’re so rare and hard to find, and incredibly expensive if found in good condition. There are two versions that vary in just one seemingly minute detail – one that increases its price and rarity score immensely. You see, there’s a version of the machine that came with a star handle, which is the more standardized design. But before that, there was a version that came with a “ship’s” steering wheel-like handle, which is a real treasure among hardcore collectors.
