During the 1920-30's when there were few baseball card gun/candy issues, stores and arcades everywhere had these counter top dispensers that would shell out a Chicago Exhibit Co. 3x5 exhibit card for a penny. They came in all sports and non sports as well. This all metal vendor has the 4-21-26 patent date embossed on the front along with company and Chicago. The display window is made to display two exhibit cards. This machine has been restored with new paint and face plate. The exhibit cards are modern reproductions and can be replaced with any card you wish or left as is as a nice display piece. The metal remain in excellent condition except for the top which has some pock marks under the paint but not bad and looks fine given its age.
