Title: Added a couple of awesome Vendors to the Stable ! ! !
Post by: Jim on July 24, 2022, 03:55:07 pm
Just sharing a couple of new acquisitions that have been in the making for a few months...

One is a Rowe Gum/Mint Vendor on an original Rowe stand. This very machine eluded me at an auction 7 years previous, but it came back around and now I own it ! ! !

The second is an awesome Confection Cabinet Corporation Candy Vendor commonly referred to as "America's Best Candy" Machine due to the marquee title. It's in very nice original condition for being 85+ years old!

Also posted a photo of two Advance Coin Acceptors I am looking to locate/purchase to complete this candy vendor...  Also in search of period correct cam locks, 1 3/8" long w/ large tail as pictured.

A huge Thank You goes out to Jared Rolen on the lead to the Confection Cabinet Corp. Candy Vendor ! ! !

Here's a close-up of the lock tail showing the older large hole in the cam.

Very nice machines Jim.  I always liked that particular candy machine.  Very classy.

I've had a few Rowe gum machines in the past.  One complete and a few with broken knobs.  Similar but different than yours.  I like the Rowes because you can get a single piece of stick gum instead of a whole pack.  I never saw a stand.  Very cool.
