The Famous "1
should have a marque on the top of the machine as is
shown in the photo and it reads: (LGQK? 6 BALLS, 3
CENTS). The decal is very early and is classified as a
paper decal.
Needless to say this is a very unusual
machine. This machine dates back to the very early 1920's.
The turn-table in this machine is interchangeable and
you may easily convert your machine to vend the following
different combinations:
STRAIGHT—One ball of gum for each penny.
DOUBLE VALUE—Two balls of gum for each penny.
PENNY-NICKEL—One ball for each penny and five
balls for each nickel, or 1 ball foreach penny and 6 balls for
each nickel.
1-2-3—One for the first penny, two for the second penny
and three for the third penny.
In total, there were four different combinations. Most
people are not aware of the fact that the LEEBOLD wouSd
take a nickel.
The castings were entirely nickel-plated (first copper-
plated). The machine came with
inviting
rubber feet. A very
machine and one that should last a lifetime.
Shipping wieght was approximately ten pounds.
