This is my Florida gumball machine. It is from the early 1960s. These were very common back then in West-Germany. (Only heared that, I'm not so old).
Due to the american influence in West-Germany people here started to love chewing gum and other american sweets. The people throw in 2x 10Pfennig (pre Euro) and got three stripes of Florida chewing gum.
I bought it some time ago on ebay. It has still its original paint and decals and is in very good working condition. Currently it's filled with Wrigleys.
For me, this is not only a piece of old metal, it's more a piece of history.
