Has anyone got a '50s-'60s coin operated Gum Ball machine. Needed for hire soon for BBC series 'Back in Time'.
The film company can arrange collection. Email me at hello@stevemaxted.uk and reply here as a back up.
Thanks, Steve

thanks Daneil, a good idea to put wheels on. no problem helping with measurements

I bought this to use in my old penny arcade at the Rye Heritage Centre. The seller tried to boost the price misleadingly by saying another was going for over £2000 (with no link). Clearly a steer-a- ball! His ruse probably worked but was happy to add it to my collection. the daft part of the design ...

And to find the actual film clip of the skirt lifting is brilliant, thanks To Wembley Lion.

Once again, great information as to the film scene. Now I truly can add a card with that info to my 'Charlie and Mabel'.
Thanks a lot, Steve

Ehat explains it then. I should have noticed. At least it is still very rare.

Amazed there is one in the USA. There are at least 3 made then

Thanks to Site Admin for the info about the Chaplin and Mabel, 1914 film, I never knew that, and will add the info to the machine.

Thanks, nice to be on board the forum, very interesting, did not know my machines were being discussed.
To clear up a point in this discussion, I added the 'Working Model' metal plate to Smokey Joe, so these models never had one

Yes, Smokey Joe is in the Rye Heritage Centre, but so is 'Charlie and Mabel in the Park'. This has been there a lot longer than Smokey Joe. Charlie does raise her skirt with his cane, and she turns to slap him. That is all. It is charming though.
The Heritage Centre, at Rye is my old penny arcade
