Title: Bazooka Joe Post by: Dave on June 05, 2012, 09:35:33 pm I had a couple of requests for another pic of the Bazooka Joe gum machine.
It was originally a 1954 Stoner gum machine. I decided to do a fantasy Bazooka Joe theme on it. It was done by a local legendary pinstripe artist in the KC area named Bob Bond. His work is phenomenal. He is the "go to" guy when it comes to sign lettering, gold leaf, pinstriping, or artistry. Check out his website at WWW.bobbondart.com.

Title: Re: Bazooka Joe Post by: davethebirdman on June 06, 2012, 01:18:25 pm Well I guess that is just something else I need to add to the list. Here's a picture of my Bazooka Joe.. Not as impressive as yours but about the only machine in the house that gets emptied on a weekly basis...

EVen saved up enough comics to send off for a free pocket knife. Couldn't do that today!

I miss being able to get pocket knives and miniature lighters from the 25 cent gum machines. Those were the days. Title: Re: Bazooka Joe Post by: Dave on June 06, 2012, 03:28:13 pm Very very cool Bazooka dispenser birdman.
