Title: Gum machines Post by: Larry on March 22, 2013, 11:32:05 am Does anyone own a Rowe stick gum machine (blue 1c) or the pack machine (green 5c)?
Title: Re: Gum machines Post by: bcharlton on March 22, 2013, 12:55:43 pm I have a couple but I am not sure that they are the exact model.

Title: Re: Gum machines Post by: Larry on March 22, 2013, 02:16:08 pm The top one is a stick machine, which is pretty cool. I haven't seen too many varieties of individual stick gum machines. Plenty of the square tab gum machines like in a Stoner or Mills. I own the top one.
I'm buying the bottom one, not that machine, mine is more beat up. Just wondering if the plungers on the 5c machine are stiff or do they have play in them. The one I'm looking at has play. The stick machine usually has just flat stick gum holders. Mine was missing one so I bought another machine with busted knobs, but when I opened it up it had the square tab gum dispensers inside. The tab ones are a neat design because it dispenses from the left side, then from the right side, off of the same column. Just wondering if anyone had a 1c and if they had flat or tab gum dispensers in them. They are interchangable.

Title: Re: Gum machines Post by: Larry on March 25, 2013, 07:01:27 am I picked up the gum machine and it is a Canteen version. I actually like the recessed Canteen in the top section of the trim.
Title: Re: Gum machines Post by: davethebirdman on March 25, 2013, 12:38:44 pm That's a great machine. If you decide to sell please let me know. Cheers Dave Title: Re: Gum machines Post by: Ltransam on March 25, 2013, 01:08:45 pm Hey Dave I'M first in Line If Larry Sells :laugh: I Collect Canteens :laugh: :laugh: Title: Re: Gum machines Post by: jbrumett on March 25, 2013, 04:16:49 pm Leonard,

Title: Re: Gum machines Post by: Larry on March 25, 2013, 05:30:29 pm I think I would have to want to sell it first. I only had it a day. :biggrin: :biggrin: :tounge: :biggrin: :biggrin:
Title: Re: Gum machines Post by: cohammer on March 25, 2013, 08:24:25 pm Just send it to me before you get to fond of it. I like it
Title: Re: Gum machines Post by: Creighton on March 26, 2013, 01:03:41 am Larry,
Funny how fast the crowd picks up the scent of a Canteen and start to circle. Great find and enjoy it for many years !! It would look the best next to my 5 push Canteen however.

Title: Re: Gum machines Post by: sledworks on March 30, 2013, 08:22:07 am I have the odd combination gum and cigar vendor on the original base. Cigar vendor was filled with unopened packs. 5 for 25 cents. Gum machine product didn't fare as well. The mice had a field day with the gum.
The plungers on mine have some resistance when pushing down. Not real stiff, not real loose. Title: Re: Gum machines Post by: Larry on March 30, 2013, 09:31:24 am Very cool. I never saw a stand for the gum machine before. I have a Cigaromat with the stand. Gum and chocolate cigars work well with them. Mice would probably love them too. :laugh: My friend had a similar cigar machine like yours that dispensed packages. His was a Tipparllo machine.
