I picked up these two slots not too long ago from the same estate, both with side vendors! There is a lot of information regarding the "Mints of Quality" machine, but I couldn't find much information about the machine on the right. Can anyone tell me about this specific model? I assume it's earlier than the other.
Thanks - Mike

Okay, never mind. I may have found it in Bueschel's Jennings book. I assume it is an Automatic Counter Gum Vendor from either 1920 or 1922, right? Didn't realize that there were gum vendors versus mint vendors.
Is this an uncommon machine?
Thanks - Mike

A good completely descriptive name for your wood front machine would be: Jennings Automatic Counter Gum Vender Wood Front with Future Pay.
It says right on front award plate that it vends a pack of gum.
Bueschel has covered both these machines very well, just not all in one place.
You might find it hard to find a photo of the Wood Front in your gum specific version, but Fey has it pictured in Slot Machines, 5th ed, page 161. He dates it to 1918, but that one's a mint vender.
