Machine Mart sweet allwins identified

At first I thought Ruffler & Walker, but now not sure

Don't think it's a R & W. Hardware is different and also the cabinet (see pics below of typical R & W sweetie Allwins). Any pics of the mech., as that will tell if it is R & W?

I don't think there's any doubt that it's Morris Shefras. See also Cigaretto, Speedway and Chocolate in the Museum.

Thanks Mr P. I never thought to look at Shefras. I don't know why? The top glass was a good clue.

Saw this sweetie allwin recently. Quite an unusual mech for delivering the tube of sweets - not seen a mech like this before. Reminds me of some of the heavily engineered mechs from Shefras.
I assume that the main pay-out lever arm connects to a worm gear rod that would turn the wheels when pulled.

Maybe it grinds up the candy, Arrgee?

The casework is definitely Morris Shefras/Machine Mart. Not sure about the top sign.
