Up for offer is a vintage IMP Ball Gum Vendor 1 cent Gumball/Cigarette Trade Simulator Slot Machine with 2 keys (not original).The machine was made in the 1940\'s by the Groetchen Tool Mfg. Co.
This is a 3 Wheel Slot Machine.. Counter top model... Has a flip Top lid on topwhich when down lookslook like an AM/FMradio dial. Flip it up, and you have a slot machine.Put ina PENNY,press down the lever, get 3 of a kind of the same brand of cigarettes, and theowner would give you a pack of cigarettes.
If you didn\'t get 3 of a kind, at least you would get a Gumball. When you were done, you would flip the cover to look like a radio, as it was illegal for gambling.
It is all original.....even the paint which is green hammered paint.All 3 wheels spin nicely.I have put several pennies in it.Some of the cigarette brands are Lucky Strike, Old Bold, Wings, Phillip Morris &Co., and Fatima Turkish Cigarettes. There were no gumballs in the machine, so I don\'t know if that dispenser portion works. I have made pictures with the back off so that you are able to see the workings on the inside.
There is a rough spot on the back and a few minor scratches which can also be seen in the pictures.But overall the machine looks, and in my estimation, works great for its age.

Please check pictures, and email any questions.
