MINT and RARE Green
porcelain Large COLUMBUS – Gumball Machine with original SLUG EJECTOR. This is
a rare original condition porcelain gumball machine. One small .25 in. re-paint spot on the top, very minor chips at
base. The light green porcelain is
perfect, very nice. The label is new
and the glass is likely replaced. The
original slug ejector is stunning, and in wonderful condition, valued at over
$300 by itself.
This machine functions
perfectly, when a 5c U.S. nickel is deposited several (2-3) gumballs
release. There is also an original
double Columbus Co. lock and key set present, a $75 value. The release needs to have minor fitting, may
be replaced. Made by Columbus Mfg. Co.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
This dates pre-1950s
era. Large overall - 16.5 in. tall, 9 in. deep, 9 in. wide. Est. $400-700.
A complete and near mint
condition Columbus Gumball machine, a top example sure to increase in
value. Slug ejectors are very rare and
desirable.
