Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
The collector's most often asked question seems to be, "Is this machine original?" We know now that this question will be easily answered. You will find that collecting or just looking will now be much easier in the identification of the more popular machines. We also know that after examining this book you will find, as we did, gumball machine collecting to be more interesting and enjoyable, knowning whether a machine you have or have found is an original.

A Must Have For Gum Ball Machine Collectors,
By Gregory A Ginter (Kentucky Untied States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gumball Machines: Right or Wrong (Paperback)
As a gum ball machine collector I have searched for a book that contained the most common gum ball machines. Now I have it! Gumball Machines Right Or Wrong is a must have for ANYONE interested in gumball machines. Not only does this book describe so many of the old machines but it is packed with 127 pages of pictures of every type of machine that is out there. Not only is this book great for collectors but for anyone that wants to go back into history and re-live the making of gumball machines. The only dislike of this book is that all of the pictures are black and white but not every book can be perfect.

Good but not Great,

This review is from: Gumball Machines: Right or Wrong (Paperback)
While this book covers a vast area of gumball machines and what they should and should not look like, there are a few that were made that are not in here. However, the ones that are in this book are described in detail. They are also shown with the wrong parts so you can tell if it is original or not (good idea). This is an excellent book for the beginning gumball machine collector or for the avid collector. Overall this is an excellent start to an enjoyable hobby.
