Description: We have a few of these Komets and are sharing the history behind these particular machines. Some people enjoy hearing the adventures of their machines as a conversation piece to share with others. We recently purchased the machine division of the Ford Gum & Machine Company. Along with thousands of Ford Machines and parts, we found many cool prototypes and samples they had acquired and tested. We believe these Komets were purchased/given during the era when it was time to transition away from the iconic stainless Ford machine. There were 6 of these buried on a shelf and covered in gumball dust. They were likely samples that were considered as the next generation for Fordway distributors but Ford ended up going with the Astro lineup. We believe these were new and not used on a route because the inside that holds the coins doesn't have any dirt, grime, scratches, etc. Some of them had very old candy in them so there is a little candy powder but other than that, they look new, too. The outsides are in good condition but do have scratches and scrapes. They are over 50 years and over time samples in factories get moved, bumped, thrown in boxes, moved again, etc and the outside can show marks. In the coin box areas we also found business cards from a machine distributor (pics included). We included many pictures so you can see the exact condition of the machines. It isn't easy to find new/unused 50 year old machines and coupling that with the unique history makes these machines truly one of kind! Included with this batch of machines was one unit that has the Komet 1cent decal. This listing is for that machine and the pictures are of this specific machine you will receive. The machine vends 19mm gumballs with pennies and includes lock and key. We have 2 other listings with variations with decals. The machines are 16" tall and 9" square. Save $$$ by remembering to buy the little gumballs or candies for your machine along with your order. We can combine shipping and offer discounts for large orders on many of our items. Our Ebay store has nearly 1,000 items for parties, toys, gum/candy, machines, and parts for the FUN industry! If you don't see what you need, let us know and we will list new items or quantities just for you! We warehouse millions of toys, candy/gum, parts, and machines so it is impossible to get them all listed but we probably have what you need! All of our listings utilize stock photos. We sell 1000’s of machines/Parts/Fun Products and can't take pictures of every unit. The product you receive will be the same model, vintage, and general condition as the machines in the pictures. Our feed back of well over 99% and coupled with the thousands of machines we sell tells the story of how great our reputation is. Some parts may be of different style than shown but are of equal or greater quality and function exactly the same. GumballStuff™ has the largest inventory and variety of used bulk vending machines in the WORLD. There is no way for us to keep all of the different types of brands, models, colors, sizes, condition, etc listed online at all times so just contact us if there is something you have in mind but don’t see it listed. We specialize in commercial grade equipment like Northwestern, Oak, Beaver, Eagle, and A&A but occasionally offer other brands, as well. Also, we buy, sell, and trade so let us know if you have any old machines or parts you want to get rid of.
