Remember that stroll down the boardwalk in Atlantic City that summer day in the 1930's? Okay too long ago? So imagine it. The middle of the Great Depression when a penny actually meant something and still youngsters would find a way to fork a couple up for a chance at finding cards of the great baseball stars of the 1930's. This Exhibit Supply Co. card-vending machine dates to that gauzy period and it's been expertly restored to Mint condition that practically propels you back in time. With 100 percent original parts it's still in excellent working order including the card weights the metal insert frame for the two display cards in the front section and the coin drawer inside the back of the machine which is rarely found in these arcade vendors. The embossed information on the lower front of the machine states "Exhibit Supply Cos Cards Chicago U.S.A. - US & For Pat Pend. Vintage-style cards of Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe are handsomely presented in the front display. The keys that open the top of the machine to add cards and to open the back for the coin box are included. Quick before the penny becomes obsolete in 21st Century America plop one into either side slowly push it in and pull it out - and a card is yours.
