This is one of my favorite groups of charms, probably because they remind
me of Aphabet Dangles from Cracker Jack.
These mini charms (3/4" wide x 15/16" tall) have been difficult for me
to find. The colors I have
in these are clear, pink, red, green, and yellow.

And here are some gum machine charms that I am particularly fascinated
with, although I have only a couple examples in my collection so far.
On one side of the 9/16" ball, there is a letter of the alphabet.
On the other side, as pictured at right, there is an "E" inside a star.
I think this is the mark of Eppy Charms, Inc from New York, at one time
one of the biggest bulk vending toy makers in the United States. |
