Replacing the well-known wooden Zeno machines was this pressed-steel version, featuring rounded corners, stark black lettering and a striking yellow finish (evoking a late-1890s design). These Zenos dispensed “package gum” for a penny.

The vendors were manufactured by Zeno in Chicago until the brand was retired after the 1910 merger with Wrigley Gum.

You get two images in this set of different Zeno machines from the same time period.
