Fantastic 1940s-50s Baseball Exhibit Card Vending Machine.
Lot 11. Fantastic 1940s-50s Baseball Exhibit Card Vending Machine. From time to time, an offering is so exceptional that it’s difficult to know where to begin. That is the case with this vintage vendor. It measures 37” x 17” x 10”, creating a spectacular visual presence. The front of the machine displays nine 1947-66 exhibit baseball cards along with signage. The cards, which are included, are Hegan, Campanella, Goodman (leaping), Reese (fielding, ball partially visible), Lockman, Wertz (batting), Roberts (script signature), Vernon (batting), Doby (bat well off right border), Carrasquel (leaping) and Baker. The signage reads “Baseball Stars” atop the display and “Insert Coin Receive Card Here” at the bottom. The machine is operational. Put a penny in the slot, push in the lever, pull it out and receive the card. The case is sturdy and made of wood. Inside, a light behind the glass and cards illuminates the display.
Winning Bid $1,391.
