Hot Nut Machine 1940's ???

I have this Hot Nut Machine and need a lock and key for it. I have seen this go by 2 different names online, Regal and Silver King. Which is correct? The lamp and heater both work perfectly.

Great machine! I always thought they were Silver King. Believe Birdman has one.

I picked one of those up last year new in box, wrapped in news print from 1955. It was labeled Silver King. The guy I got it from found 8 of these in a basement all new in boxes, never opened. He also found 6-8 duck hunt penny gum machines some new in box and some assembled with the gumballs, but never put into use: also made by Silver King!

"Found in basement." I love those stories.

Your machine is a Regal Hot Nut not a Silver King. Regal made a plastic red top, Silver King was glass. You can tell a Regal from a Silver King by the chute flap. Nice machine!

Yeah it took me two weeks to decide if I should open it or keep it sealed, the wife finally put her foot down. So now we enjoy looking at everyday! I should of bought two

The lock and key are the same for both, aren't they?
