1940s-50s “Football” Gum Vending Machine by Multi-Vendor.
Lot 127. 1940s-50s “Football” Gum Vending Machine by Multi-Vendor. When a customer inserted a penny into this vintage vendor, it dispensed a gumball and allowed the purchaser to play a game by catapulting the ball as many times as necessary in order to achieve a “Touchdown 6 points, Field Goal 3 points, Touchback 0 points, Conversion 1 point or Safety 2 points.” The gumball was then dispensed to the player through a metal corridor with a metal front flap. The vertical playing surface is circular, about 6” in diameter. Period graphics on the playing surface include players in vintage football attire and a “Football” identified with bold block letters. The vending machine is original and in good working order. It opens with the key provided. Extremely rare and equally desirable. Minimum Bid $200.
