Title: Vintage gumball machines Post by: Kapri on August 03, 2011, 03:47:06 am Anybody know of any websites/forums that cater for vintage gumball machines.
I've got a few of these & it would be good to find somewhere like this, but specificaly for the old gumballs. Thanks, Gaz. Title: Re: Vintage gumball machines Post by: RetroMe on August 03, 2011, 06:04:45 am The SMC boards is probably the best place. I am an avid collector/restorer for many vintage gumball machines. Several others on this forum own and collect the occasional "good deal" machines. Would be glad to discuss any gumball related topics.

I've had several, Simpson Jr., Northwesterns, Oaks, Columbus, etc... The Chicago coin op show is great for these too. Title: Re: Vintage gumball machines Post by: Kapri on August 03, 2011, 10:26:04 am Yep, that's what I thought. I know they're quite popular in the States, thought there would be more online resourcees.
Got a few myself, Northwesterns, Fords etc, but they're a bit hard to come by here in England.

A few years ago I picked up a couple for Luv Gumball Machines. Decent guy and reasonable. His card was still in my desk so his email is SPFGUM at AOL dot Com. Good luck.... Title: Re: Vintage gumball machines Post by: TomFromJersey on August 31, 2011, 07:53:57 am Dave
There is a decent origonal coming up at Preston Evans Oppurtunities Auction in Georgia later this month. Check it out on the web. It was actually a friend of mines piece. I went to buy if from him and he already entered it in the auction. If you want to bid on it, I can get it brought to me at the chicago show, and I'll ship it to you for cost. My employee discount is 75% off published rate for Fedex. Let me know, if your not interested I may bid on it.

However, with the $1000 I just spent on the Jigsaw and hopefully the Gas Pump too my funds for toys are sereverly limitted at the moment.

Title: Re: Vintage gumball machines Post by: davethebirdman on August 31, 2011, 01:46:37 pm I'm not counting my chickens before they are hatched with the gas pump... But with a little luck I hope to seal the deal very soon.. You'll be the first to know once its done..
