Title: UK Gumball Machine Identify If You Can
Post by: Ginger Prince on September 05, 2008, 08:46:42 am
hello everyone

GP from England with a question

please can you help me in identifying this gumball machine

not sure if it was made or supplied by UK or European or US
manufacturer originally. It operates on english old penny so
dates it before 1972, [same size as US x50 cents so big coin].

it has a perspex dome/globe and trying to see if it was made
by well known manufacturer and whether also supplied with a
glass dome and whether any vintage sites can supply original
or repro perspex or especially glass dome to replace the one
thats currently on it,

never ever seen one like this before

thx in advance for any help

best regards GP

Have already asked dave [b11rdman]

I would try Roger at crowriver.com
He may be able to tell you who made it and where you can get parts....
It kinda looks like a cross between a OAK and a Victor....
looks 60s..... you gonna restore it?
