Quoted from meSz:Looking for anyone that can identify what type of machine this is or refer me to a site that I can go to. I have posted on the CoinOp Collector Forum but no luck thus far!

Are there any markings on it ?
Is it a penny or nickel machine?
Where did you come across it?
I’ve collected gum ball machines for almost 30 years and I’ve never seen that particular machine.
Quoted from Ballypin:I’ll bet that this is some time of one-off, cobbled together piece. The “globe” looks like an aviation or explosion-proof light globe and the top piece is a section of conduit or the housing that accepts the globe. The recessed panel that contains the wording “Condulet Syracuse N.Y.U.S.A.” appears to also have the wording “Crouse Hinds” concealed by the band that is the coin slot.

The base looks like the under side bracket on a cafe table.
Curious if this actually works. Interesting, but to my eye, this does not look like an actual production piece.
I think you are probably correct. A quick internet search brought up the same info you posted. I’m thinking it was a repaired machine by someone who worked at the company that obviously had some skill and access to various materials. Or it was a in-house lunch/break time project by an employee. It’s definitely different but also cool. Value is tough. I’m thinking between $100-200.
