Title: Gum dispensers Post by: ld26 on October 17, 2015, 03:45:27 pm grabbed this trio today (actually friend grabbed them for me, thanks man!) I really wanted the superior dispenser on the right but had to take all as a package deal.
The superior didn't come with a key, anybody have one they think might work? Any info anybody has on the other two would be appreciated, don't know much about them, Thanks!

I have 5-6 of those, classic gumball machine... the middle is a Carousel made in the 70s till now...
Check with Roger at www.crowriver.com for possible key to the Superior. Nice grab on these! :happydrinkers: Title: Re: Gum dispensers Post by: ld26 on October 17, 2015, 04:11:46 pm Thanks Eric! Any idea on value for the acorn and carousel?
Title: Re: Gum dispensers Post by: HowDueYouDue on October 17, 2015, 06:27:02 pm The oaks come up on eBay from time to time. It vended tab gum which is hard to find these days. I picked up one last year and wound up getting fortunes to vend out of it. The guy might still be selling them on eBay.
Agree to check with Roger for the key on the superior. Congrats on the pickup. As far as the carousel, you can still buy them brand new at Walmart. :( Title: Re: Gum dispensers Post by: Eric on October 17, 2015, 08:10:59 pm Put the carousel in the kids room when they are old enough to chew gum.. they'll love it.
With the other two... put a shelf up above the coolers and start filling it with these! These are fun to look for when coolers are scarce and they don't take up near as much room!
