(Carlton, c. 1950s) A vintage Carlton Rocket Bubble Gum vending machine. Constructed of metal, plastic, and rubber components, these eye-catching Atomic Age one cent gumball machines were promotional items given to vendors by the Carlton Candy Company with the purchase of gum. In working order, the machine includes a key to unlock the hatch door on the coin repository in the base of the rocket. Measuring 21.25" tall and 9" in diameter, this sleek, rocket-shaped vending machine is in very good condition. There are a few small cracks to the walls of the clear plastic gumball chamber, some minor scuffing to plastic components, and the rubber feet on the rocket fins have aged and cracked.
