I believe this machine is the first Hilo Machine, as the other Hilo on the page it marked "improved". Purchased from a guy in NC. He said his Granddad rescued this machine from a building that was going to be demolished back in the 60's. It sat on his back porch for over 40 something years. All original example
made by Roth's Pansy Gum c. 1905
Roth Pansy Gum Machine
I mainly collect globe machines but a gentleman from MA contacted me wanting to sell this machine. The great graphics caught my attention. The cast iron front plate has the lettering stenciled. When you insert a penny push button at the bottom and receive a stick of gum.

Simpson Model A Peanut Machine
This is the big brother to the Simpson Jr shown below. It has a cast iron body & a formed metal lid. The body is similar to me to a Columbus model A but it has a slanted coin entry and notice the feet on the bottom. I personal think this machine is under valued. I have seen more Simpson Jr's than I have Simpson A's.

This cast-iron, miniature vendor dispensed breath pellets, gumballs or peanuts. Like it's big brother above, it has a cast iron body with a formed metal lid. This version is all original except for the decal. The decal is a paper copy of the original ribbon decal. This is a personal favorite

This model is a Model A-3 with a mechanism that's been modified to take a nickel instead of a penny, has a #9 Columbus globe and has one of the neatest decals you'll find on a vending machine.

Peerless Product Co. aka Bluebird Penny Drop Gumball Machine
After the customer places a penny in the machine he maneuvers the penny chute with the control rod. Then he pushes the lever with the right hand, releasing the penny to drop through. If it hit the return you would get your penny back and get a gumball. Notice the chute cover - this version is not very common.

Brice Williams Peanut Machine, Kokoma, IN c. 1921
This is similar to the Master, but based on the patent dates it predates the Master by a couple of years. This has an interesting design. Put a penny in, turn the handle clockwise, and it vends a small portion. Put a nickel in, turn the handle counterclockwise, and a large portion comes out.
