http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-ORIGINAL-OAK-ACORN-GUMBALL-CANDY-NUT-VENDING-MACHINE-COIN-OP-10-CENT-/161977479110?hash=item25b69c2fc6:g:cOgAAOSwuAVWv8zJ

Have seen many Gumball machines over the years where someone takes a northwestern Gumball globe and puts it on an Oak body and the reverse. However, haven't seen this before. Sellers says "original" but seems like a homemade fix to me. 

Anybody have one or seen one like this?

It would have been cheaper to buy a globe than to go to all that trouble making that top.
And it looks like pine.. Would think they would have used....wait for it....OAK  smile

Ugly, but innovative. It doesn't go with any idea that I have when I think "gum ball".

Very curious. At least the globe retaining bits have been enshrined.

If it was legit bidding, sold for $26 and then another $25 to ship.
