Vintage Pearson's Peppermint Patty Candy Vending Machine St Paul Minnesota Rare

This is a original Peppermint Patty vending machine.  I believe this was for Pearson's Mint Patties but am not 100% sure.  This looks in good shape with normal age and wear.  The base is cast iron, there is a removable insert and easy open top, I'm not sure if it actually works.  You could store or display any number of things in this.  It measures about 43 1/2" tall.  Please see pictures and if you have any questions, please ask.
