About the Item:
We recently purchased a barn full of old machines that had been sitting for decades.  We will be slowly listing these lost treasures so save our store as a favorite and check back often!
This
This is a war-era Ford machine.  The wartime machines are highly collectable because it is the only time period where the Ford Gum company switched from the renowned stainless steel look to painted machines.  This machine has more rare features that include:
Round globe- Most Ford Globes had a flat spot in the front that is the shape of their decal.  This globe pre-dates those and the most difficult to find next to the perfectly round embossed globes
Decal- This has the oldest 1 cent decal the has the "c" cent symbol that pops through the number "1".
Topper/Ad Frame- fully functioning ad frame that still springs back exactly as it should
Color- this machine is military green and has a little bit of a metallic finish to it
Lock- This machine comes with the rare branded Ford padlock that pre-dates the plug locks.  This is a really cool feature that you can see in the pictures.  Less than 1% of all Ford machines have this lock. The lock functions perfectly and comes with the Chicago key.
Nameplate- The words on this nameplate are in Old English script and has a black background with gold text
Service/Sanitation schedule- This machine was last sanitized on May 18th, 1960 before it was removed from service.  It has been stored for 60 years since then!
Metal dispense wheel- as can be seen in the pictures
This machine functions flawlessly
