No key, but unit doesn’t need the original key. The key only is used to un tighten the bolt. Any key could and would work. This vintage 1950’s Victor Topper 1 Cent Half Cabinet Gum Ball Vending Machine is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage vending machines. This original machine, made in the United States, features a classic gumball design and comes with a California Prop 65 Warning. The machine is in great working order and does not require a key to operate. It would make a great addition to any collection or as a standalone piece for display.
