Title: Identify Gumball Machine
Post by: schutzy on January 02, 2021, 05:07:05 pm

Hi! My dad has the bottom half of a gumball machine with the letter "S" on the dispenser. Unfortunately we do not have the top piece or the glass. I'm looking to identify the machine in the hopes of purchasing replacement pieces. We have taken the machine apart in the hopes of finding a manufacturer or serial number. We found the letters "SS4" on the inside, but researching that hasn't turned anything up for me. I've attached a couple of pictures. If anyone's interested in gumball machines and would have any thoughts on the make/model or any good resources for finding out more I'd very much appreciate it. Also, the circular top is 6" diameter as a reference size.

Thanks in advance for your time!
