Title: Gum Machine Post by: 90grad on December 28, 2007, 06:53:33 pm All,
What do you make of this gum machine? I know nothing about them. If it's any good, it would be cool for the house. http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-Vintage-1930s-Gum-Machine_W0QQitemZ300185311645QQihZ020QQcategoryZ35645QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-Vintage-1930s-Gum-Machine_W0QQitemZ300185311645QQihZ020QQcategoryZ35645QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) Title: Re: Gum Machine Post by: Creighton on December 28, 2007, 07:25:25 pm Hi Wayne,
I have one. Other than the tiny boxes of gum you can't vend anything else out of it. That is a good price. Hope it has the key or you know a good locksmith. They were made for the subways and are tough little machines. Let me know if you have any questions.

If there is no key, I could make a copy from mine. That is VERY cheap. I hope you can get it ...Bob
Title: Re: Gum Machine Post by: 90grad on December 28, 2007, 07:45:49 pm Thanks guys. Maybe this is a dumb question, but can you still get the small boxes of gum (like Chicklets in a small box)?
It also has no key. Bob, if I can get this, I probably would ask for that copy. That's very nice of you to offer. Thanks! Title: Re: Gum Machine Post by: Creighton on December 28, 2007, 07:56:51 pm Seems like I found some on the web. Been a couple of years since I have done anything with that machine. I would be interested in a key as well Bob. Thanks!!

I had a Mills gum machine, but I sold it. It was in great shape and it had the original key. Mills made weird keys. Anyway, you can still buy the chicklets gum in the small boxes. But I am not sure where. I ordered some off of the internet. There are many sites that sell retro candy. I forgot which one I used. Groovycandies.com was one and I forgot the other one. Usually it would come in Spearment and Peppermint. I found one web site that was really cheap, but it had a $50.00 minimum. I use their gum and candy cigars and cigarettes in my cigar and cigarette machines. Another gum that fits well is Canel. It is from Mexico and I usually find it at the local dollar store. Also, you can try Andies candies. I used thoses in a Select O Vend I'm pretty sure it would fit in the Mills.

I just ordered some two pack chicklets from amazon.com Cost me $16 for 200 packs I'm not sure what link, but I can let you know if needed.
