RARE antique glass globe nut transportation topper for Oak Acorn vending machine
This listing is for a unique antique item that is made for Oak Acorn machines. You may have collected a lot of antiques and antique machines but I bet you don't have one of these! These were used decades ago by route vendors when they serviced their peanut machines. In order to stay sanitary and easily swap out the heads for cleaning and refilling, vendors would keep a supply of freshly cleaned and filled glass heads in their service vehicles. These toppers are spring loaded and click onto the heads to keep the product in the trucks sealed and ready to go. When they would pull up to the store they would just grab a globe by the carrier by slipping their fingers through the two top slots. In the store they would squeeze the top of the carrier to disengage it and then put in on the glass head they need to carry out. This is a neat piece of simple technology from a bygone era. Get one to add to your collection of antiques, vending machines, or Americana today! FYI- These carriers are compatible with all 6lb, 8lb, and 11lb glass Oak Acorn Globes. This listing if for the carrier ONLY. It does not include any glass globes.
