2001 Jelly Belly Red Metal Gumball Style Candy Dispenser

DESCRIPTION

A wonderfully nostalgic Jelly Belly candy dispenser fashioned after the classic red gumball machines once found at candy counters and five-and-dimes.

The clear globe carries the familiar red-and-yellow Jelly Belly logo and rests on a bright red metal body with a wonderfully detailed silver-tone faceplate embossed with tumbling jelly beans. Turn the traditional front knob and candy drops into the small delivery tray below.

There is something particularly charming about the miniature vending-machine construction — substantial enough to feel like a proper countertop fixture rather than simply a novelty candy jar.

Fill it with Jelly Belly beans, small candies or appropriately sized gumballs for a kitchen counter, game room, home bar or old-fashioned candy display.

WORTH NOTING

This Jelly Belly dispenser design was in circulation by approximately 2001, placing it within the vintage period.

Features the Jelly Belly logo on the clear globe, raised jelly-bean decoration across the dispensing plate, turn-knob mechanism and removable red top.

Dispenser is offered empty; candy is not included.

MEASUREMENTS

Approximately 12" high × 6" diameter at the globe.

Measurements are approximate.

CONDITION

Pre-owned vintage condition with age-appropriate evidence of prior display and use.

Please review photographs closely for the condition of the clear globe, Jelly Belly logo, painted red surfaces, metal faceplate, dispensing mechanism, lid and base.

FROM THE HOUSE

There are certain things one never quite outgrows — a proper candy machine may be one of them.

Bright red, mechanical and unabashedly cheerful, this little Jelly Belly dispenser brings a bit of the old candy counter home. Fill the globe with color, give the knob a turn, and exercise whatever restraint the occasion requires.
