<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 3431777, member: 84&quot;]I found this a few days ago while treasure hunting a local thrift store. What caught my eye (no not the horrific paint job!) was the very large... funnel? inside the glass top.</p><p>I&#039;m thinking it was for big gum balls(?) - but it looks like it&#039;s facing the wrong way to do anything? What is that thing &amp; what was it for?</p><p>The glass top seems larger than most + the flap or &quot;door&quot; that covers the hole where your prize comes out looks larger than normal too (it kinda looks like a cowbell was cut in half &amp; 1 side was used for the flap!)</p><p>The machine also has a metal case or base on the bottom that looks like maybe this was attached to some type of fixture?</p><p>How old / what time period is this from?</p><p>Any suggestions on getting that terrible paint job off - or is it better to just repaint it a single color?</p><p>As always thank you - I appreciate any help!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]302732[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302733[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302734[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302735[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302736[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302737[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302738[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302739[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
