Two Ford Gum and Machine Co. 1 Cent Gumball Vendors. East Aurora, N.Y., ca. 1919. Including one with serial #17405 with original red paint and decals. Tag in front has been painted over. Lock and key. Working. Second machine appears to have been repainted but retains original decal. Coin entry unusual but appears original. Despite the obvious potential for conflict, it appears Ford Gum and the auto manufacturer of the same name never confronted one another over the use of their common namesake.
