ALL ORIGINAL COLUMBUS GUM MACHINE WITH BARREL LOCKS – Model M circa 1928
I have had this original chewing gum ball dispenser made by the Columbus Vending Company in my country store collection for many, many decades – long enough that I do not recall when or where I found it. Complete with two original rare barrel locks that came with it. No key, but when I got this vending machine I worked the locks open as I recall with a paper clip – and I have never been to lock picking school. The barrel locks alone run about $75 each when found.
Time to share some of my fun items in new collections. thank you, RAY

GUIDE FOR WINNING THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY – A PRIMER
Time for some fun as this “scary” season approaches – but maybe you (and your friends, I have several copies for you) can jump in, with your neighbor as running mate, and save the day. Just buy and follow this guide and – “you are in.”
Yes, “An Almost Fool-Proof Guide for Winning the New Hampshire Presidential Primary” – “tongue in check humor” but a helpful guide which includes: The Unofficial History of the N.H. Primary How Franklin Pierce Got Elected President Without Really Trying A Step-by-Step Method & Can’t Lose Guarantee that You’ll Win the N.H Primary
Special Sections for Candidates, Including: Why NH Hosts the First-in-the-Nation Primary and more
PLEASE NOTE – the original publisher in 1995 offered a money-back guarantee that you will win. That offer was 28 years ago and is no longer valid – nor the double your money back offer. It is noted on the rear cover “A record of CRIMINAL INCARCERATION for any candidate automatically voids the guarantee…”
New softcover measuring about 7 by 10 inches – 52 useful and often hilarious pages.
Price – $9.95 per copy Shipping – just one charge of $4.89 for one or more copies ORDERING INFORMATION
