Condition

Working. When a penny is inserted and lever pushed, the three vintage cigarette logos spin. The goal is to have three matching cigarettes line up to win a pack from the original vendor. When tested a ball of gum appeared in the hinged slot at the bottom. Not known how many balls of gum remain, as no key is present. When shook gently there sounds like a mix of Penny’s and gum inside the machine.
