I like to pick up some kind of baseball related vending machine every now and again.

The Vendex Co. - 1 cent Bubble Gum Machine - 1930s.

It's about 12" in height. I like the sticker on the machine.

As one can deduce - if one was lucky enough to have a "baseball" come out? They won a candy bar!!

This is my 3rd machine - the others are more like the pedestal mounted type.

edit: I found an ad for the machine from back around 1934 - the company sold these machines for 5.95 and 6 for 30 bucks.

Here's a tin I haven't seen before - it's about twice the size of a cigarette pack - no ruler on me, but about 4x6 and 1.5" deep. Tax stamp on green paper has only the one date - 1883

(Leon - this is the one I called you about yesterday)

Got these last week. 1927 & 1943 Yankee Stadium photos. i believe they are Type 1, can someone help confirm? thanks!

No one's seen this tin design before? ...or it's so common that it's not worth responding too?

Scott:
I think people here tend to get complacent at times.... fickle group. Either that, or everyone has a Friday night date (which somehow I doubt)

That's an awesome Tin, and one I haven't seen before. I've seen other Mayo Cut Plug Tins, but not like that.... very impressive, especially with the striking blue color.

Nice acquisition!

Mark, I forgot it was Friday - for me all 'Friday' means is that my friends get excited

Thanks, I was hoping it might have been one that held a card, but when I quit searching on 'tin' and went with 'pack', I found that Mayo had card-sized soft packs. Just another area I'm ignorant in.

Both appear to be original photos. If they are nice and clear, they were probably printed from the original negative, and the date stamps indicate their age.

MVSNYC · #10 05-18-2013, 08:44 AM

Thanks, Scott! yes, they are both bold, crisp, clear and have great contrast.

Nice tin, by the way!

dapro · #11 05-18-2013, 12:24 PM

Got this this week.

your mayo tin is one of at least 7 variations/configurations in tin. Think this is the only variation with paper label. I remember seeing one or two of this style along my journey. Paper label tins are not actively sought by most tin collectors - but they make great go-withs for the sports enthusiast. The one you are showing may be the earliest - would take more thoght and research. It probably predates the football inserts but I'd have to go back to my records. I've not been active lately in researching tin/pack card manufacturers and the associated product - too many other tasks to focus on avoiding...... I know Jon Canfield has done a lot of work on that front. I don't think it's been clarified yet what kind of package the football cards or even the small die-cuts were found in (or even the ns cards) although I remember that one of the tins has been suggested. I KNOW the yum yum baseball cards were found in tins (thanks Jay M.) as well as the later lucky strike NS cards but I can think of few others. Mostly all cards pre and post 1900 were found in slide and shell packs - a few cards were inserted in paper style packages like the Polar Bear but.....? The more I know - the less I know :-( Is the tin factory 1 or 42 as it's hard to see in the scans? The value of your tin would be in the eyes of the owner :-)

never argue with an idiot
they'll drag you down to their level
and beat you with experience

I made a great game used score today at a local estate auction...one of the "kids" in the family was a batboy for the Lincoln Chiefs from 1955-57 and I scored 9 game used bats, two game used baseballs, and two team photos. I talked to the guy about the Chuck Klein bat and he said one of the players was using it, but he doesn't remember who.

Runscott · #14 05-18-2013, 06:03 PM

Thanks Scott. The factory looks like 42 (remains of a 2, and destroyed area just before it)

Dan, you sure seem to find the Nebraska stuff. You must have a museum-quality collection

Wow Dan!
Quite a score- congrats!
