About the Item:
We recently purchased a barn full of old machines that had been sitting for decades.  We will be slowly listing these lost treasures so save our store as a favorite and check back often!  This listing is for an auction with no reserve!
This is a war-era Ford machine.  The wartime machines are highly collectable because it is the only time period where the Ford Gum company switched from the renowned stainless steel look to painted machines.  This machine has more rare features that include:
-Mini Globe- this is one of the earlier globes that were smaller than the normal Ford globes
-Decal- This has the 1 cent decal with the arrow the points up to "Ford Gum".  The decal on this machine is in great condition
-Lock- This machine comes with the stock
embossed
"Ford" lock.  It is configured so that you can lock/unlock with a screw driver and not have to worry about losing the key
-Nameplate- The words on this nameplate are in Old English script and has a black background with gold text
-Metal dispense wheel as can be seen in the pictures
-This machine functions flawlessly
