Item Description
6x13x13" tall pressed steel machine marked "Premiere Gum And Card Vendor Mfg. By Oak Mfg. Co. Inc., California." Front also has "Quebec Vending Machine Co." decals although these show wear. Has glass inserts, one w/"Acorn All Purpose Vendor 1¢" decal, behind the other two are vintage gum cards. These machines were used in the 1950s-1960s and vendors sold whatever cards were available to them. This machine currently has four classic cards from the 1960s: two different Batman series, James Bond and Dr. Kildare but any cards could be substituted for display purposes. Complete w/key and locks, one for top loading the machine, the other on back for removing coins. Overall scattered moderate traces of paint wear, general aging. Fine. An exceptional item to display along w/your gum card collection.
