Title: Wooden Oak Gumball Machine? Post by: HowDueYouDue on February 19, 2016, 09:38:33 pm http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-ORIGINAL-OAK-ACORN-GUMBALL-CANDY-NUT-VENDING-MACHINE-COIN-OP-10-CENT-/161977479110?hash=item25b69c2fc6:g:cOgAAOSwuAVWv8zJ
Have seen many Gumball machines over the years where someone takes a northwestern Gumball globe and puts it on an Oak body and the reverse. However, haven't seen this before. Sellers says "original" but seems like a homemade fix to me. Anybody have one or seen one like this? Title: Re: Wooden Oak Gumball Machine?

And it looks like pine.. Would think they would have used....wait for it....OAK :smile: Title: Re: Wooden Oak Gumball Machine? Post by: mygoose101 on February 19, 2016, 10:54:41 pm Yikes, that's kinda ugly.

Someone has a wood working shop and a lot of time on their hands. Title: Re: Wooden Oak Gumball Machine? Post by: Creighton on February 22, 2016, 07:53:04 pm Very curious. At least the globe retaining bits have been enshrined.
