    Description

    National Novelty Co cast iron gumball machine
    This machine was made in Minneapolis Minnesota circa 1910
    The machine is cast iron with the original dark blue paint. The bottom
    lock has been replaced and it looks like a bit of grinding took place to make
    the lock fit. The globe has a crack at the top where the padlock would have set and
    it seems to be stable at it starts and ends under the hold-down ring. I can't
    get the hold-down ring off, as the rubber gasket is stuck on it and I don't want
    to force it. There is a partial decal that I can't make out.
    I will pack the globe in a separate box to ensure safe delivery.
    The machine is 13 inches tall with the base being about 7 inches in diameter.
    It weighs in at 11 1/2 pounds....
    This version of the machine is not in the Enes book, so I can't say how rare
    it is.
    I'm happy to answer any questions and take additional pictures.
