Description
A single vintage handmade wooden gumball and candy dispenser, crafted in the folk art style. The structure is constructed from light-toned wood, forming a rectangular body set upon a stepped base. The dispenser is anthropomorphized with a face featuring two plastic googly eyes and a circular wooden plug serving as a nose. The front panel includes a circular dispensing or collection hole. The reservoir consists of an inverted clear glass jar, likely of the Mason type, which displays indistinct molded text near its base. A small wooden dowel or plug is visible on the side, suggesting a rudimentary dispensing mechanism for nuts, candy, or gumballs. Visible construction includes surface-mounted metal fasteners.
