Help in Identifying Gum Machine

[Michael1]

Found this at the flea market about 15 years ago but didn't get around to restoring it until last year. Have exhausted all the local 'talent' for an approximate date/name but it measures about 18" tall and about 7" square at the cast iron base. Middle column rotates in four positions and when a nickel is deposited, the top rod is pressed to dispense a package of gum. Sheet metal was sandblasted and repainted with Krylon Flat White, then buffed to approximate the porcelain-coated base and top. Thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide!

Your machine is a Northwestern Choice Package gum vendor. Circa 1917. Hope you did not remove any of the decals on it. Machine is somewhat rare.

Your machine should bring about 500.00 or so if its complete.Its a good one.
