Bringing this thread back from the dead...

Anyone ever see an Exhibit machine like this? A single card display!!

This just sold in a mostly non sport auction

Here is the description:

A Unique 10 Cent Exhibit Card Vending Machine with Mickey Mantle Card in Window and 18 Additional Baseball Cards

Table top wooden display features an Art Deco design with original key and ESCO label (Exhibit Supply Co., Chicago U.S.A., EST. 1901) on coin tray and dispenses card when dime is inserted.

Along with Mantle, players featured are: Phil Rizzuto, Andy Pafko (2), Berthold Haas, Dave Philley, Harry Lowery, Dale Mitchell, Vic Wertz, Wally Westlake, Bob Elliott, Earl Torgeson, Wally Whitaker, Dick Fowler, Mickey Vernon, Walter Evers, Hugh Casey, Sal Maglie, Al Evans.

Base: 8 1/4 x 9 1 /2 inches.
Height: 13 1/2 inches.

Obviously an older machine re figured to accept dimes with much later cards being dispensed. The date on the slot mechanism is 1933.

COOL looking!
