OT / Gumball Machine???
Im not exactly sure why, but for about 6 months now I have wanted an "old" gum ball machine. (think im loosing my mind) I don't know anything about them or even what they are worth, but last night I got 1 on ebay.
From the listing it said it was a 1940'S REGAL. If anyone knows much about it im all ears. Or even if anyone has something like it would love to see some pics. .

I do not know gumball machines from jukebox machines, but I can't believe this is 100% "original". I find it hard to imagine a 1940's gumball machine would be a 5 cent machine, unless the machine and/or decal was repurposed after the 1940s. I remember in the 1960s gumball machines being 1 cent machines, with the occasional jaw-breakers machines at 5 cent (would have the larger opening). Another option is that this could have been an original peanut vending machine, which may have been a nickel. But not sure if the dispensing mechanisms were much different or interchangable. So it could be an original (non-gumball) dispenser. (you say tomAto, I say tomahto) For what it's worth, assuming it's metal and glass, it's a cool piece and I would have bought it myself. Again, not an expert but just my 2 cents. |

I think your 100% right about it being a peanut machine - I was thinking the same thing. I hope I can fit candy or gum in it though, lol would be fun for my kid.

They can be nice display pieces to enhance your collection. I purchased and refinished an exhibit machine. Before:
After: I had another one on tap for this summer but things sort of got away from me and I never got around to doing the project.

I do know that the value is increased since you have the key. I think there was an episode of American Pickers that talked about them.
