Title: What Kind Of Candy Machine Is This? Post by: mygoose101 on March 10, 2014, 10:37:07 pm Never seen one of these. Seller doesn't state manufacture. Just wondering what is is. I'm assuming it is missing the base?

Post by: mznb1u on March 10, 2014, 11:28:46 pm I believe that is a Rowe and it is missing the base. That guy has been trying to sell that machine for years locally on CL in Michigan. Too bad it does not have the base as it is a great looking machine. Too much for an incomplete machine though.

They are a lovely little size for home use. Title: Re: What Kind Of Candy Machine Is This?

Post by: Pixel on March 11, 2014, 08:22:48 pm Ah yes, from the days when a nickel would buy a full size candy bar. Nowadays they have machines that sell "fun size" bars and take quarters. :veryangry:
The expression "fun size" is a marketing term (cf Old High Doublespeak) for "total rip-off". |
