This small gumball machine is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face!
It works completely mechanically – no power, no electronics, just clever mechanics and a bit of nostalgia.
⚙️ How it works
Insert a coin (2 € or 2 CHF), pull the knob – and a pack of Stimerol gum drops into the dispenser opening.
A simple principle with a great effect – perfect for children, makers, and anyone with a soft spot for small gadgets.
