I just love the look of the Old Columbia Gumball Machine Bank. It’s a replica from the 1920’s and I think it’s a perfect gift for any man, so that’s what I’m getting my dad for his birthday.

He’s a rather “old fashioned” man, so this antique look will suit his taste. Being made of all metal and glass, I know he will appreciate the quality. He’ll get a kick out the real locking padlock and key, plus the old style coin slide.

My dad loves Boston Baked Beans and I was told by the gal at candymachines.com (where I found it on sale) that candy will dispense just fine. I’ll tell him, since it doubles as a bank that he can use it to save his money for my birthday gift…that’ll get a good laugh!
