description:  Hit The Target gumball machine by B&O features a rocket ship and space theme penny drop. It was not a game of skill because the penny fell through the pin drop field after it was placed in the coin mechanism (by Northwestern Mfg.).

information:  The patron always received a gumball but only had a chance of the penny being returned. The gumball and penny return chutes were separate devices. The vender is mounted to a matching sheet metal stand.
