    Wheaton N.J. Blue Glass Gumball Machine Coin Bank, Embossed with Square Base

    $24.99

    This is a Wheaton N.J. blue glass gumball machine coin bank, about 6 inches tall on a 3.5 inch square base, marked WHEATON N.J. on the bottom.

    The glass has no chips or cracks and feels smooth, with only a few tiny specks of dust inside, all shown in the photos.

    Wheaton made pressed glass in New Jersey, and its colored glass banks and bottles are a favorite with blue glass collectors.

    The gumball machine shape is harder to find than Wheaton's standard portrait and historical banks, and the coin slot on top makes it work as a real bank or a bright spot on a sunny windowsill.

    Questions buyers ask

    Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

    Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

    I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

    I process your order within 1 business day, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
