The machine features a glass globe to view the contents and a metal base with a coin mechanism. It's a nostalgic item that brings a touch of vintage charm to any space. The coin slot accepts standard currency, allowing users to purchase gumballs from the machine itself. It's a fun and interactive way to store and dispense treats.
How people cook with it
This gumball machine bank is perfect for adding a playful element to your home or office. It's a delightful way to dispense small candies and serve as a decorative piece.

To use the gumball machine bank, first fill the glass globe with your favorite small gumballs or similar candies. Insert a coin into the slot on the front. Turn the dispensing knob to release a single gumball. The machine is designed to dispense one piece at a time, making it a controlled way to enjoy your treats.
