Gumball machines made in the 1920s and 1930s were built using steel construction or finished with porcelain enamel over cast iron, giving the device a durable and attractive appearance, often in a cheerful fire-engine red.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"S16 Home","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49722093142253,"sku":"Machines SKU 047","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0018\/9425\/2633\/files\/vintage-oak-gumball-machine-1950s-1_7a62044d-8685-4fcc-a7be-5632d551fad8.jpg?v=1774388739","url":"https:\/\/s16home.com\/products\/vintage-oak-brand-gumball-vending-machine-c-1950","provider":"S16 Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
