I found this at a garage sale years ago. It was so dirty, I actually thought it was brown. After cleaning it up, I actually found a great gumball machine in working order underneath all the dirt and grime.
Now I collect marbles when I go to antique stores to fill it.

Loved the gumball machine. I have marbles, just no gumball machine. You have a very interesting post.
Hi Tamy…that is a great way to display marbles. I hope you and your family are having a great 4th of July!
ohhhh, I love that gumball machine. What a great idea to use it for a marble collection. Put a penny in and a marble comes out!
Have a wonderful weekend!

very cool! What a great idea to keep marbles in it!
I have one too….mine’s red and black…I like yours. Now tell me, did you put marbles inside? How darned clever!
My show n tell is petrified wood I found in our yard…I think. Come see what you think, your opinion is greatly valued.
This is awesome! Yes, I remember when bubble gum was a penny! Love the marbles – a wonderful treasure…
What a great find! As kids, we begged for a penny to buy our gum- and how we laughed when it accidentally gave us more than one piece for out penny! I think filling it with old marbles was ingenious. 🙂 Sue
Oh this is wonderful! Love the gumball machine all filled with marbles…great fun for kids of all ages!
I LOVE IT!!!! Never know what you will find if you have some elbow grease, huh? Hope you have a blessed day!!!! Cher
Oh I so do remember those machines here in the U.K. Love-love this brings back so many great memories :0)
Cool..gum ball…
My mom bought a pretty yellow pitcher at a 2nd hand shop recently.
Except when she got home and washed it, it was clear! It was still pretty though.
lol.
Great gumball machine! I like the marbles in it. 🙂
WOW that’s fabulous and it looks great filled with marbles 🙂
cool machine! and to have it work is even coolest!
keeping your marbles instead of losing them… love it!!
What a terrific idea, the marbles!Great find on the gumball machine too.
OH, how I have always wanted one of these. I never seem to find one in my budget. I think one would be so cute on the kitchen counter with peanuts in it. I love the color for sure…really retro looking.
Have a great VTT and a wonderful holiday weekend.
What a great idea! You’re such a clever decorator 🙂
What a great way to display marbles! Thanks for sharing.
That’s a nice gumball machine and it really looks great with the marbles.
I like your gumball machine, and I really like that you’re putting marbles in there, and collecting them over time!
Happy 4th!
What a fun gumball machine! The yellow is a great color and the marbles are perfect in there!
Ooo, it’s wonderful I love all the colors inside. Happy VTT..have a lovely and safe 4th..
