Description

This has a chrome (I believe) base, glass globe with a flat top, and 1 cent decal on the globe. I don't have a key so haven't been able to get the pennies out (would be grateful for any help regarding that, if possible...). The dispenser part has a plastic cover. The base is 7" across. I can't find a serial number.

Ford Gum has been around a long time beginning in 1913, the gumball machines have not changed much since their first inception and they still are in production. Most of them in good working order sell in the $75.00- $150.00 range. The company is still in production at https://fordgum.com/ you could contact them regarding a replacement key.
