The choices of cards in this '50s coin-operated vending machine ain't an easy one -- Ty Cobb or Cy Young, each of whose card from the 1949 Hall of Fame "Baseball's Great" series stare out of the window above the sliding coin drawers. Machine has all of its pieces but does not work, and though the sliders look a bit petrified they still go in and out. Comes with the 2 vintage exhibit cards (3 x 5.5"). Sturdy metal engraved "Exhibit Supply Co. Cards, Chicago, USA" on lower front. 7" tall, 9" across bottom. VG-EX with the royal blue paint seemingly as fresh as ever, at least 98% intact, minimal rusting, some color streaking of metal back frame edges.
