A friend of mine got this for me as a Chistmas gift, but I have no idea what it is. He said he got it at a Goodwill store and that they had a bin of about 30 of them. They have a 1986 copyright from [Columbia Pictures](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/uncategorized/columbia-pictures) Television so I assume it has something to do with the cartoon.

It’s the top to a mini-gumball machine. I have one of those in my storage unit 🙂

Mystery solved. Thanks. But now I wonder why there were so many of them and no gumball machines. lol

I need the bottom part of the gumball machine that locks where the coins would fall in, anyone have an extra one ? The gumball machine is pretty cool!

What a coincidence; I also got one of those for Christmas (although it’s just red and white, dated 1987). I’ll have to post a photo of it…
