Question I have a Columbus Model E 1 Cent machine in working condition with globe, 2 small brass padlocks, cream in color over cast iron square base with a paper inside of globe that reads "Yum Yum Pellets." It appears all original with some chipped paint. Globe may have been replaced at some time. Great condition. Pictures are available. Rarity & value info would be appreciated. Thanks.
Answer Hey Larry, that is a very hard to find machine. To give you the value I would have to see pictures because condition and originality are important. Please send them to n2coinop@aol.com Also if you would not mind, please send me your phone number so I can call to discuss, or please feel free to call me at 630-408-8808.......
Thank you
Bob
