1928 Columbus model 'MB' Gumball Machine

Columbus Vending Company made the Columbus Model MB in 1928. It came in three very similar versions, the M, the MG, and the MB. While the MG dispensed gum for a penny, the models M and MB dispensed a handful of nuts or other small candy. The model MB differed from the others mainly in that it was a nickle machine rather than a penny.

This Columbus is recognized as an instant classic by gumball and nut machine colllectors worldwide! Many people have an antique vendor such as this in a convenient corner of their kitchen counter or a rec rooom shelf for a little color and visual interest. You can fill it with peanuts, cashews, pistachios, or even M&M's, although your biggest challenge may be keeping it filled!

With a nice original decal still gracing the globe, this Columbus would make a great addition to anyone's home bar or gameroom!!
