Title: 1937 Automatic Stores Gumball Vending Machine Post by: davethebirdman on July 19, 2016, 11:21:52 am Hi Chaps Thought I'd share a picture of a machine I recently acquired from a auction house here in the UK. I bought it blind from description only. Normally I'm very disappointed when when I do this and each time I tell myself "Never again." This time I was very pleasantly pleased when I unpacked it. Can't find much information on it out there on the interweb. Couple of pictures from auctions years gone by. This machine was professionally restored back in the mid 90's over your side of the world. It is very heavy so must have caused somebody difficulties bringing home here. Anyways. iTs now sitting my desk with my favourite sweets inside and vending spiffingly well. I am always on the look out for similar vending machines. So if anyone has something to sell that can be bought home in hand luggage please let me know because my annual trip to the US starts very soon. Cheers Dave Title: Re: 1937 Automatic Stores Gumball Vending Machine Post by: collecture on July 19, 2016, 11:53:25 am I'll keep my eye out Dave!

Off on a bit of a jaunt through Florida with other family members so won't have much time for exploring antique malls etc. Guess you have to keep everyone happy. Dave |
