The machines we are currently listing aren't your average Ford Gum Machines. In addition to being in great condition, this one also has the following features:
Globe and Decal: The glass globe is in great condition and doesn't have any cracks, major scratches, or blemishes. The decal is the older 1 CENT "Branded" Advertisement with the arrow pointing to the Ford name. It states "Branded FORD for your protection". Newer globes read "Ford Franchised Quality Vending Products"
Lock AND Key: This machine comes with a working lock and F50 key. Most machines don't come with the key but you will get one with this machine!
Rubber Feet: These machines come with the rubber feet that prevented the machine from scratching the business owner's countertop.
Ford Nameplate: This is one of the earliest machines that has the Old English script. In later years they changed it to modern font.
Ad-Frame: This machines has the spring-loaded advertisement display frame. The springs are strong and the frame springs back and forth exactly as it should. The frame is where they displayed the name of the charity or civic club such as Kiwanis, Lions Club, etc. You can recreate your won on the computer or make up your own art/design for a personalized touch if you are presenting this as a gift or display piece. Many machines sold on Ebay are now missing these because over the years they broke off or were stolen.
Don't forget to buy chiclets or gum when you order your machine. The gum ships free if you buy it and have it shipped with your machine!
OPTIONAL: We also offer the original wagon wheel style Ford stands to pair with your machine for the discounted price of $75 with free shipping if you purchase at the same time as the machine.
