    I recently inherited my Uncle's gumball machine collection. I've been doing research and trying to figure out everything about it.

    I believe this is a Victor vending machine, I have another but they do not look identical. This one has a "baby grand" top. I also have 2 keys, 1 for fill and 1 for coin.
    This one is in awesome condition, and I don't see any peeling on the back panel.

    Just trying to expand my knowledge on these.

      Very nice piece. There are two more stars under the three stars with "Baby Grand". I call these machines the Five Star Baby Grand. I have two of them.
      One of mine is in average shape and one is almost pristine. Victor made some variations of their Grand and Baby Grand gumball machines. These are the only wooden gumball machines that get any interest from me at all.

      My better Five Star Baby Grand is sitting on a shelf in my basement. A few months ago, I moved into a new office where I work. I think I need to put my baby in my new office so I can take good care of my baby. Thanks for sharing your baby with us and reminding me of mine.

      Nice. Thank you. I've been pretty happy with it. I have removed the "vintage" gum in it and replaced it with skittles. It vends extremely smooth and I usually get 3-4 skittles. I realize it's meant just for the small gumballs but wanted to use it on my desk.

      I only have 2 at the moment...I have one in the garage as part of my garage art, full of spark plugs...and this one, which I believe is a homemade kit? I'm gonna be looking for a few like yours...I like those

      I recently found another one on eBay which I purchased. It's a 25 cent version. I'll be posting that up once it comes in.
