Title: stoner?
Post by: rayg on May 28, 2011, 12:46:11 pm
Saw this on e-bay, it looks like (especially with the six pulls) it maybe be one of those mini-Stoner's  that mount on the sides of the 180's.  What to the experts think?

Stoner Gum.. Mounted either on the side of the floor models with 2 brackets or you could just mount it on the wall. make sure it's complete... I have one... nice little machine for display though I don't have anything found that it can dispense. But I just like the design....

The Stoner gum machine used two styles of gum.  They used the old 1950's rectangular gum and chicklets in celaphane.  The regular gum areas can use Bazooka gum or Quench gum.  The Chicklet areas can use Canel gum.  The Dollar store near me use to have it.  Canel is Mexican gum and it is similar in size to the old Chicklets.  It works, but I don't believe you can really stack the high.

I have that on my list... Have been after one for years and for some reason the seller seems to think he can ship it to me for $56.00.
There is a nicer one on too at the moment but that will probably go too high and the shiping is more than double on that one.
The other one has gum in it..

Ray,

That is the gum machine that I was referring to that would have been mounted on the side of the Stoner candy machine.  I have always thought that those were very cool.  I bet Curtis has a picture of one mounted on a restored machine.

This thread has a picture of a Stoner Jr. that Brian restored and he mounted one of the gum machines on the side.

I was going to bid on this... But don't want to get into a bidding war with you. Will you let me know what you are going to do.
Also fancy the other one on ebay at the moment too if the price stays low.
