Robot ,bubble Gum Vending Machine ,italy 60ties Rare

ery rare Italian vendor in the 60s. he is my favorite. He is a very rare robot who is either a distributor of bubble gum or peanuts,. There is a slot for coins. from 10 to read. we insert the part and operate the left arm down. It has its original foot painted in turquoise which I did not take in photo of about 110cm. It is weighted with a heavy cubic block at the base. This little guy has everything for robot lovers and collectors of contemporary art. His minimal innocent face is simply fantastic..A dream for robot lovers of which I am a part. Very addictive collection; I do not know what touches me about them can be the shift between the flickering metallic forms and their humanoid aspect to the innocent expression. When we think that at the same time our distributors were boiled down to simple cubic containers, the Italians created magnificent robots. What a people of esthetes!
