Title: Repop gumball machine? Post by: jholmgren on November 14, 2012, 08:52:19 am Good morning everyone,
I see a lot of machines on my local CL that are identical to this one. Can I safely assume these are repops, or is there just an unusually large number of this particular vintage gumball machine in my area? Title: Re: Repop gumball machine?

And yest, people still claim they are old. if the 1980's can be old.... Title: Re: Repop gumball machine? Post by: BrianB on November 16, 2012, 08:45:08 am "Carousel" is the name of the machine. I have also found that when searching places like Craigslist that this is the #1 hit when searching for "antique gumball machines". They are super common but once again, quite a few folks don't know that so they list 'em priced like they were featured on Pawn Stars, American Pickers or that "restoration" show......
