Zeno Chewing Gum

Visiting my brother and sister-in-law's house is an adventure. You could spend hours looking at all the neat stuff they've collected.

Here's a Zeno chewing gum porcelain dispenser. It's a vending machine by Zeno Mfg out of Chicago, IL.

Circa 1910!

I saw online where one sold for $400.00... in good condition.
