Hello,

I just picked up a nice gumball machine at a local antique show. It's very old, has cast iron body covered with thick white enamel, first one I see like that. Unfortunately, the globe has multiple cracks, still holding together, however. I could not find any identification marks on the machine. No luck finding a picture of anything similar online either... Any help with ID and pointers as far as finding an appropriate replacement globe will be MUCH appreciated. I did pick a lock ant take it apart for a cleaning -- works perfect now. I attached some pictures.

Thanks.

Hi
Looks like my National Novelty. Made in Minneapolis, MN
Made in 1910. Pictured in Silent Salesman 2 page 102
National also is thought to have made William Michaels . Page 92 SS2 The pic shows a different globe than the National.
SS2 said Michaels made a 123 machine.
My National is a 123 machine.
Hope this helps.

Thank you, this is helpful. It does look similar. I ordered the book, will investigate further.

What's the good source for the globe replacement?

Thanks.

I don't collect gumball machines but maybe Crow River may have what you need.
