Great Northern has incorporated an innovative dispensing mechanism which is fully adjustable so you can vary the amount of candy/gum that is dispensed when you turn the handle. In addition, there is a unique anti-spill cover which will keep your candy/gum in the tray and not on the floor.

I really wouldn't put this into the "toy" category...it isn't a toy. This is a full-blown, replica gumball machine that you might expect to find walking through Wall Drug in South Dakota. What fun...The paint is bright, the legs are sturdy, the glass globe (many are plastic) just screams "quality!" I have this in my training room here at work and it really makes people smile to walk in and have a treat out of this machine. So much more engaging than a basket of candy sitting on a table. I filled it with Reeses Pieces and set it to dispense without having to add a coin.

I love how I can adjust the amount of candy that gets dispensed. I love the clear cover over the dispensing chute to keep the candies from shooting out onto the floor. I think I am going to try skittles or jelly bellies next time around!

I am not sold on an educational value for this item...I guess you could teach children about saving money (it is a bank)...

I am a photographer specializing in retro pinup photos, so when I went hunting for a gumball machine I knew that it was going to have to be authentic or be a very good reproduction. I had a hard time finding reasonably priced vintage models in good condition, so I was pretty excited when I saw this one on Amazon at such a great price. I read the reviews and decided it would be a great prop for the studio (I had been looking for something about a foot taller but those don't seem to exist).

I have to say that I am very pleased with the quality and look of this product. The glass is pretty sturdy, though you have to be careful with it like you would any glass item. The stand screws together securely and is perfectly level with no rocking or weakness. The piece is heavy and well crafted, which was a concern. Cheap knock-offs can be very obvious in photos! Everyone that has seen it thinks it is a real vintage piece (which I am thrilled about) and it is one of the most popular... Read more

This came as ordered and very fast. I have no complaints. The gumball container is glass so if it is for a younger child take care here. The mechanism and the entire base came preassembled for me so I didn't have to mess with it. Quality is great - metal is heavy gauge. You will not regret the buy.
