Expert: Marc A. Hess Date: 8/20/2007 Subject: Antique Victor Gumball Machine
Question I have an old Victor gumball machine that I have had for 20 years. The top is
oak and glass, and the base (about 36 inches tall) is cast iron. I would like to
know its approximate value and if there is a market for such an item.
Answer Ann
Without actually seeing the machine it sounds like you have a Victor Baby Grand that someone put on a stand. I don't know about the stand but the machine itself (if the machine I think it may be ) is worth about $75 to $125.
If you want to send a picture I can positively identify it.
