Hasbro Charmkins House Gumball Machine Candy Dispenser

This vintage Charmkins house is a miniature gumball machine or candy dispenser. The front has a slot where you can insert a penny, then a lever slides to deposit the penny in a lower compartment. The gumball will come out of a hole underneath the front steps – just lift the steps to get the gumball.

The lid opens up so the house can be filled with gumballs, and there’s a compartment underneath the house that snaps off to retrieve the pennies.

The machine has not been tested it to see if the mechanisms still work, so the house is sold as-is. The lever to dispense the penny doesn’t slide back and forth easily, it takes a bit of force.

The front of the house has stickers on it, there’s a Charmkins logo above the door, Brown Eyed Susan coming out the front door, and Poppy the Cat and Lil Tulip outside the house. The house shows some wear but would be a fun piece to have on display in your Charmkins collection!

The bottom is marked “Arrow Industries, Inc.”
