Found this Dual Vendworx Candy/Gumball machine that's mounted on a really nice wooden stand at a yardsale yesterday.
It's in excellent condition, the price was right and I couldn't pass it up.

Not sure if you're already aware that your item is not a collectible antique machine. Your machine is likely something less than 5 or so years old and these are the style currently in service in stores.
I know this because I purchased these identical machines brand new just a few years ago. The globe is lucite plastic as is the body of the machine and the candy vending mechanism. The trim just under the globe is gold-like plated plastic. The coin mechanism is gold-like plated metal as is the base, door and top. They came in maroon or green with wood stands like yours or on a painted metal stand on a round base. At one time, I owned over 40 machines like this before I sold.
Considering how worn out mine looked like after only a year in service, yours looks great, like it never served the public at all.
I found a set of these at a yard sale too. Just finished restoring them because I had to cut the lock out of them. I know they're not antiques but really cool otherwise.
