AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage gumball machine – European production – without key
Description
Vintage gumball vending machine of probably European origin, built in a classic red metal housing with a transparent acrylic globe. This type of machine was widely used in shops, cafes and snack bars in the second half of the 20th century.
The vending machine is offered without a key. The mechanism has not been tested, and the item is sold as it is. There are visible signs of wear and paint damage, appropriate to its age and heavy use. These traces contribute to its authentic vintage character.
On the front there is a 'MERCI' dispenser and a 20 euro-cent label. The stickers present (including 'Mustang Jeans') are not original and can optionally be removed.
Suitable as a decorative object, a collectible item, or a restoration project for enthusiasts of vintage vending machines.
