Stecker and Schmidt Ice Cream Parlor in 1926 at 326 N Commercial St. Fred Stecker is on the left. At the time of this photo, Blackstone cigars, Dawn doughnuts, postcards, newspapers, and magazines were being sold. The back of the store had cozy tables and chairs. They offered unique soda fountain specials like, Happy Thought, Nut House, Two Lips, Boy Scout, and King Tut. Thompson double-malted milks was the biggest seller.
A novelty for any age child, most any candies dispensed from a unique “Gumball Machine” and not have to put money in it. Just slide the arm to the right and then to left and with one hand at the slide in the front to catch the candy.
All wood and except for the included new Ball quilted Crystal 12 ounce jelly jar to put the candies in and then screw into the lid that came with the jar mounted to the Gumball Machine.
Face it, gumball machines have been dropping off the grid for years. In fact, it's really only a matter of time before the generation of kids comes along who never heard of a gumball. Imagine. Nobody wants to see this chewy piece of American nostalgia just disappear. If only someone could put a new spin on the classic, yet outdated, delicious treat. Well good news! GUMBEL MACHINES!!! That's right a machine that for just 25 cents, spits out one of famed television personalities the Gumbel Brothers' faces plastered on to a ball! What could be better? In the mood for a Blue Bryant? Fancy a Green Greg? No matter, the Gumbel Machine's got you covered! So next time you're achin' for a chew, why not try the gum with artificial AND African-American journalistic flavor? Pop your quarter in, give it a crank and see what flavor and which brother you get! Gumbel Machines! Because America loves Gumballs. And Gumbels.

As seen in the San Francisco Shopping Emporium. No longer a penny, these shiny chrome vending machines now charge the current standard of one quarter for one gumball. Did you know that the first round candy-coated gumball machines were introduced in 1907 by the Thomas Adams Gum Company, now a subsidiary of Cadbury called Cadbury Adams?? I say "round candy-coated gumballs" because the Adams Co. actually debuted their first coin-operated 'vending' machine in New York City in 1888. They installed these early machines on subway platforms and they vended 'Tutti-Frutti Gum" (not gumballs).
Robin of the 1960's Batman TV series was noted for his many catch-phrase "Holy..." exclamations. The lines were uttered by Burt Ward who played Robin, who delivered these exclamations in a very nasal voice. I can imagine that upon seeing this sight he might have quipped "Holy Gumballs, Batman".
This image achieved the distinction of being the 80,000th photo in my collection to be viewed on Flickr (July 28, 2009)

This is part of an ongoing project. I thought it would be interesting to look around me and see what could be interpreted as faces in every day ordinary objects. My intention is to make people look twice and to see if they can figure out what these objects are :-) Please let me know if you have any suggestions or guesses! Feel free to check out my sets so you can see the photos as a collective.
the gumballs were in little plastic cases so:
a. you don't get germs from your hands on the gumball
b. if you drop it on the floor you can still eat it
c. you can safely save the gumball for later
d. any of the above
any ideas why?
they still don't do this now in the USA right?
