Hi guys, i have an old Mills vendor (Bell-fruit gum) for already more than forty years.
It became a project last year as I realized that under several layers of horrible paint,
there was something to be saved or restored.The mechanism always worked but
due to usage with 1 Belgium franc coins for decades, i suppose, a little part visible
in the little round window is broken(It came from a Belgian bar).It also misses a spring inside but taken out it
cranks perfectly.I'm still busy playing with it, but I was wondering if anybody could
tell me from these pics how old it is and maybe what kind of value it has ?
