Although there were vending machines for stick or block shaped gum as early as 1888, the first machines to carry actual gumballs were not seen until 1907 (probably released first by the "Thomas Adams Gum Co." in the United States).
Patented in 1923, the Norris Manufacturing Company produced their "Master" line of chrome gumball machines during the 1930s. These machines could accept either pennies or nickels.
Many clubs & organization's would use gumball machines to raise money.
This
was a fun cake to make.
I did not take enough pictures of the process
and will have to make this again with more pictures.
Gumball Machines
are nostalgic to me, a thing of the past.
There are a few still around,
look for them.
