Should I Restore This Crusty Old Gum Ball Machine? (or Use it as a Boat Anchor?)
Missing glass. Corroded body. Bent/broken rods. Layers of old paint. Caked with some kind of animal feed inside. This 1940s vending machine has seen better days.
This is an Oak Acorn gumball machine from the 1940s. The glass and some other parts were broken at some point and someone replace the globe with a welded steel cylinder. The inside was crusted with what looks like some sort of "feed", so maybe this was used at a petting zoo. Most of the parts are cast aluminum. I tried to use all the original parts. Replaced the nasty springs though because they are next to impossible to clean, and they touch the gum balls. The high-heat body filler was used because the gum ball machine was powder-coated at 400F.
