This listing is for an authentic vintage Ford chicle gum machine. This is an earlier model with the Ford nametag stamped in Old English font and has the cute curly chute that pre-dates machines with plastic covers. The curly shape of the chute prevents products from falling on the floor and makes it easy to grab and chew! The machine vends for 10cents and is shipped 1/2 full of Dubble Bubble chicle chews so you can use it the day you unbox! We have many of this exact model machine so we use a stock photo. The original embossed "FORD" lock is included and is configured so you can unlock it with a small screwdriver or pocketknife.
Option #1 -Authentic Ford route operator F50 Key (NOT modern replica). When you purchase one of our machines you do not NEED this. Our default listing ships the machine with a lock that can be opened with a small screwdriver or pocketknife but if you would like to keep your machine authentic, we have a limited supply of vintage keys. The keys are rare and expensive but we discount them to $60 for our customers who purchase a machine at the same time. We will pair an authentic embossed Ford lock with the key and install it on your machine.
Option #2- Machine Full Of Gum: Your machine comes half full but some people prefer the look of a full machine. For an additional $15 your machine can be shipped full of fresh gum.
OPTION # 3- Complete your display with an authentic Ford wagon wheel stand. We offer these to you at a discount when purchasing a machine. With the discount the stand is only $75, includes free shipping, and we mount the special Ford flange to your machine so all you have to do is twist it on the pole when you unbox your new machine! These stands were made in the USA so the are heavy at 25lbs each and are expensive to ship so take advantage of the discount today! The stand and machine are shipped separately so the metal won't break the antique glass globe.
Option #4- Special Ford Wall Mount- If you don't have room for a stand but have a spot on a wall that needs a statement piece like an antique vending machine or maybe a man cave with a fun and convenient spot for vending a quick treat, a wall mount is perfect for you. You can add one of these to your order for $15.
Option #5- Advertisement Frame Toppers: We have the original spring-loaded advertisement frames that go on top of the globe. You can choose Kiwanis, Lions, or blank so you can apply your own special message. We can equip it to your machine for you or can ship it with the machine and you can glue it on yourself. One of these can be added for $20.
Option #6- We have 10 cent and 1 cent machines in stock and grab them at random when preparing orders. If you have a preference just message us after you pay and we will put a note on your order to package your request.
