This is a rare and early stamp vending machine by the Reliable Stamp Machine Co. and sold by the Clipless Paper Fastener Co. of Newton, Iowa. This machine has a cast-iron base, sheet metal case with beveled glass panels on the side, two brass plates in the front offering stamps for a nickel, and very unusual handles on the arms to pull to dispense the stamps. Condition is a little rough, there is surface rust and corrosion to the front chute flaps and the bottom door has been rusted out. The internal mechanism is intact but needs to be freed up, the brass labels and tags will clean up well. All in all a rare stamp vending machine and a great project to bring back to life. No key.
Condition: (Poor).
Item Dimensions: 16" x 8 - 1/4" x 11".
