Just picked up this Acorn machine, I think its on the original stand, any experts agree or disagree. All it needs is a new lock and it will be complete and in nice original condition

Careful these babies bread like rabbits... I currently have over 70 wall hangers and gumball machines.
Once they get going there is no stopping them..

Your Acorn does look to be a keeper. I agree that they are addictive,...I have several as well as a couple of beautiful Ford gumball machines.
Even if it was in poor condition they are a super simple restoration, easy to disassemble/reassemble, and parts are inexpensive and easy to come by.
Good luck.

The Oak. Machines take a standard 1/4-20 threaded lock.
