Roman Letters
Alphabet Charms from Gumball Machines

Index (Alphabet26)
These charms are in the shape of the ROMAN LETTER font style.  I acquired the complete set of red letters and numbers at one time.  There are 35 different shapes, with the O doubling as the zero The others I have collected one at a time during the past couple of years.
The red set above -- and the green and blue ones at right -- are one sided, with flat backs, and are the newer, thinner versions of the originals below.  The typical prize in this set is 11/16" high, 1/2" wide, and 3/32" thick.
The original ROMAN LETTER charms, as pictured at left, are 1/8" thick and are two sided.  The colors I have collected in the original ROMAN LETTER charms are white, red, rust red, powder blue, green, and brown.
These are also found in a copper colored metal plated variety as pictured in the photograph at the right.

All of the prizes from this set, whether the thinner or thicker version, have rough cut tabs on the bottoms where they connected to the "tree" when molded.
