Question
i believe this machine is from 1958. i don't have a picture but it is made of wood and metal. the top is marked baby grand over gumball dispenser with a card column (baseball cards)marked victor card vendor. would like to know any information you have on this machine.

Answer
Your machine came with and without the baseball card vendor.  It is much harder to find with the baseball card vendor and much more desirable.  I found it listed in a coin op reference guide with a value of $175 in good working condition.  The value could be cut in half for the machine without the card vendor.

I'm an expert on coin operated machines. I can answer questions on slot machines, gumball & peanut machines, jukeboxes, arcade machines, pinball machines, gambling machines and any other device that operates with a coin. I have a couple hundred machines in my collection and have seen hundreds of others while traveling across the country and going to antique shows. I can give an appraisal on your item, but please send a picture if possible so I can give you accurate information. You can send pictures to me at buck@nvc.net
