It’s not in great condition but its the granddaddy of all rocket ship gumball machines. Massive and heavy, I keep jawbreakers in it. It’s in my storage garage though as its way too big for the house.
Great post!!!.. Who could resist buying a gumball from a rocket ship machine….WOW!!!

I’m serious here…..When I walked into the storage unit which was like walking into another world. When I walked into your storage unit, it had a snow globe affect on me. I felt like I was in some far off land. Damn I love to digress…..Any way, I was instantly attracted to this rocket ship and quickly became very jealous. In short, well, I think this should absolutely be moved back onto the grounds of Willis Wonderland. There, I said it.
Absolutely no room inside and it can;t stay putside in the elements.
On a storage garage tangent, I went to dinner last night at my newest writing partner/engineer’s house last night and he lives right across the street from the garage! Couldn’t believe it. Now he can tell me if the door’s ever mistakedly opened (which it has on occasion).

The top of one of these in slightly better shape arrived at AWMOK just last month: https://www.alleewillis.com/awmok/kitschenette/2011/11/15/top-of-a-vending-machine/

I’ve been into bacon gumballs for a while!

Were you keeping those bacon gum balls in a secret candy dish somewhere, I didn’t see them at Willis Wonderland. Yum.
