One of the most incredible pieces of Topps baseball card related memorabilia we have ever seen, this marvelous “train station” coin-operated gum machine exclusively advertises and dispenses one cent pieces of Topps Gum’s signature Bazooka brands, including Bazooka Mint and Bazooka Fruit. Graphics are to die for, with images of Topps’ signature star, Bazooka Joe, throughout, with great early chrome fittings give it that unmistakable “urban” look. The body is in enamel-painted metal and does not currently operate but have faith. Interestingly, this machine was used and discovered in Germany, and has the graphics to match. There is some wear to the white enameled metal but the colorful Topps labels are fine. Dates from the early 1960s.
