Repop gumball machine?

Good morning everyone,
I see a lot of machines on my local CL that are identical to this one. Can I safely assume these are repops, or is there just an unusually large number of this particular vintage gumball machine in my area?

I got one brand new in the box about 15 years ago, and they are at my local Big Lots right now.

Thanks Tim - I strongly suspected there was a source for these "new". Surprised they use a glass globe, I would have expected plastic for something new.

"Carousel" is the name of the machine. I have also found that when searching places like Craigslist that this is the #1 hit when searching for "antique gumball machines". They are super common but once again, quite a few folks don't know that so they list 'em priced like they were featured on Pawn Stars, American Pickers or that "restoration" show......
