Mine came with three actual '58 Topps cards in the display on the front of the section that held the cards for dispensing. Your machine looks to be be all metal though. Do you know it's actual year of manufacture, and who made it? Really cool item!

Bob, yes the machine does dispense both a gumball and a card for a penny. Those are real 1956 cards I display. I’m not sure what year the machine was manufactured but it is an Oak and is all metal.
