Any gumball machine fans here?

[Eric]

Not that this matters... I'm no expert on these, I just bought this book 3 months ago and only have a few so far.
But the book says a F model is cast iron with two front feet. Does It say F on it somewhere?
 '>
Just want to know these better.... They can bring good money. If I could scan this I would. That
F looks different than the F model in the book.(Book could be wrong or there could be differnet versions of this model.

Anyway... He'll have a few gum machine know-it-alls asking him and telling him more
than he'd ever want to know about that machine when he places it on eBay. '>

He should offer the option of with or without the stands.
Some won't bid because of the price to ship the heavy stands.
That's how I won a set of 1950 Acorns They where
on the stand and nobody wanted it (They had a set shipping price of $50 '>
So I asked if I bid and won would they take them off the stand and reduce shipping? They did and I won....
Just a thought.

The Victor Topper with extra capacity globe has a price of $80 in my 1995 Silent Salesmen Too book.
 
That Columbus looks like a model A to me too.  Model F has a price of $600 and the A is just marked Rare.

(sorry for the crappy pics)

Hello Eric,
  I have an old Regal products 1 cent gum ball that you insert the penny and slide the handle across the front towards the left. The glass cylinder resembles that of a visible gas pump cylinder. Does your book show any info. on this? I can post a picture if you need to see it. Thanks Terry

Hi Eric:
Coming along well.  It's cleaned and assembled and vends like it's 1936! '>

I'm waiting for the globe to be made, and I also have Roger at Crowriver sending me some locks.

There's one just like mine up on ebay right now:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....MEWA:IT

Looks nice and doesn't need a thing.  Last I looked it was at $66.00 and holding - but has not met reserve.

Terry, I looked in my book and it shows three Regals with the cylinder shaped globes.  One is cast iron and prices at $75.00-$150.00, and the other two are aluminum at $75.00-125.00.

I'm new at this so Eric may have more info.

Bob

No... I'm a check the book kinda guy too.... I'm just as new. I do know that the cylinder is the older model...
Then they went to the pear shaped in the mid 40s... Hang on to that one.........
And yes post a image....love to see it!
I have 3 of my Acorn machines stripped gonna do some Hammerite Painting when the weather good!

Bob...
 There's another 36 NW on eBay no globe... BUT... he says he has a glass globe that he will be selling also on ebay I don't have the item number but it's (machine) is on now.

Eric, I saw that and scrambled to find the globe but someone had already "bought in now" at $150.00.

Bob

[Eric]

I hate that! It must have already been sold as of last night cause I couldn't find it either...
I thought he hadn't put it on yet..... But see they do pop up and the one you were watching a while back went, I think, at $12X.XX......
Will keep looking......

Eric
