So I went to buy a gas pump and wound up also bringing these home, I love the square on.  They also had a stoner but would not part with it.  She said they were offered $450 and I told her it was worth way more than that.  They were a nice couple and gave me good deals so I figured I could help them out with the info

I believe the top image is a Silver King.. I have 2 of those... Roger at crowriver.com can hook you up with the proper decal. nice machines... easier to move than a soda machine.

I agree on moving them, too bad I had a clock face gas pump to go with them

I have about 8 gumball machines, 3 of them being the wooden baby grande and the daddy grande plus an old ford one complete and some other misc ones, love them all just sitting down in my man cave with all the other stuff i've collected through the years.

I agree they are very neat little machines. I have another silver king like the one i got last night.  It was NOS, still in the shipping box

What type of Stoner machine? I just paid $625.00 for mine and I believe Tim just sold one for $600.00.

I've got a few too.. Love the older Northwestern machines. Really substantual...

Still in the box!?..  Pictures please!  :biggrin: Warning they can multiply faster than soda machines.... I have about a dozen...

not versed well enough to know which stoner model it was but it was in really nice original condition.  i will post pics of the NOS peanut machine and shipping box when I get home

Here is the NOS machine with the box, now it is only a shipping box but it was made for the machines because they fit perfectly

I agree they just seem to multiply without me looking lol. I also have a northwestern that i restored and turned it into a coke theme machine and it sits proudly on my bar in the mancave , if i ever divorced my wife i'd have to rent a moving truck for all my collectibles lol but i think i'll keep her.

I believe that is a 1940s REGAL NOS machine very similar to the Silver King... nice find...

And tooth350 better to keep the wife and keep her happy... Don't know too many collectors
that keep the collection when the wife says GET OUT!

Would be hard carrying machines and running!  :tounge: :laugh: :biggrin:

I bought a couple of northwestern at auction last week and with key they were going for about $150 and without $55, I guess I am a little different if I can get the same machine and drill the lock and just stick a key in it to open it when I want I think i will pay the lower price.

What model of Northwesterns?.. Good deal on those... I agree... locks and keys are cheap.
Post some pics if you get a chance! Congrats on the purchase! :happydrinkers:

the 5 cent sticker made me think later than 40's

I've got a few too, including this German one from the 40's.

I always have my eye out from one of those nuts machines with the heaters, I remember them at my uncle's bar in the late 60's

Kapri...
 Nice little German machine?... Where did you find that?... very nice....

Got it off Evilbay for about £40 ($65), just needed a strip & clean & a re-paint in it's original blue.

Its very nice... I think I saw it when it was originally listed. Was it from englishman

I know this is an older post, but I see the wood baby grand gumball was mentioned.  I am just curious about if they're worth anything...or perhaps, how much?  Here's one I just came across in my area, just not sure of the asking price.  Thoughts?

BTW, beautiful NOS machine you have there.  My stepdad has a couple of really early machines as well, one with the octagonal glass cylinder and the other with round globe and a star on the door, similar to your NOS.

Grab that.

Quit posting, run over there with cash.

 :darn: Such poor timing!!  Facing an unexpected trip to NC, may have to wait to make any expensive purchases.  Will keep you guys posted on this one though.  Thanks!!!!
