The Merrymaker Chewing Gum Distributor
Value: $115,000
Designed by Merry Enterprises in 1913, this machine dispensed a popular new confection of the era—flavored chewing gum. Its colorful carousel design allowed users to choose between different flavors by rotating a dial. Thanks to its fun-loving style and attractive look, the Merrymaker Chewing Gum Distributor was frequently found in upscale hotels and theaters. Very few of these machines have survived in good condition, making this example especially valuable.
