Bulk Gumballs Appraisal

Lot of Novelty "Disco Ball" Vending Machine Capsules/Gumballs

This lot consists of approximately 20-25 colorful gumball-like spherical items, likely intended for vending machines. Each sphere appears to be constructed from a clear or translucent plastic, encapsulating smaller, reflective, metallic, or glittery particles. These internal elements create a shimmering, disco ball-like effect. The spheres are mounted on individual, colored plastic bases, which are integral to the item's design, possibly indicating the product variant or flavor (though no text hints at flavor). The bases are colored to match or complement the sphere's internal contents, with visible labels such as 'PURPLE' and 'VIOLET' on what appear to be purple variants, and 'CORAL' on an orange variant. Other colors include pinks, greens, and gold/bronze. The overall condition appears to be good, with no obvious signs of significant wear, cracks, or damage to the plastic spheres or their bases. Some minor scuffs or dust may be present due to handling or storage. The items are neatly arranged within a light purple, perforated plastic crate, suggesting they are new, unsold, or pre-packaged for distribution. The size of each individual item appears consistent, likely designed to fit standard vending machine mechanisms. The visual quality suggests mass production, common for novelty or toy vending machine items. No discernible maker's marks or specific brand names are visible on the spheres themselves, only the color indications on the bases. Given their design and context, these are likely contemporary or relatively modern items, produced within the last few decades, rather than antiques.
