Vintage 1925 vending machine for cardboard "Exhibit Cards," which were issued by the Exhibit Supply Company of Chicago starting in 1921 and ending about 1980. The cards were generally postcard sized, and the most sought after are those depicting famous baseball players. Stamped on the front of this machine is "Exhibit Supply Co.'s Cards, Chicago, Patd 4-21-25." The machine uses pennies to operate and is still in fine working condition. Some of the original green paint on the machine has chipped off, with a small amount of surface rusting. Included are twenty vintage 1950s Exhibit cards in two styles, picturing such greats as Hank Aaron, Don Newcombe, Nellie Fox, Pee Wee Reese, Elston Howard, Lefty Grove, Fred Clarke, Mickey Cochrane, John McGraw and several others. They are in overall EXMT-NRMT condition. The back of the machine is present but not affixed to the machine as it needs a new key.
