This type of device was common on the streets, in pubs, social clubs and anywhere where the public congregated, absolute state of the art in it's time! Can you imagine now a world where something like this would last five minutes in a public place!!
This machine works well and would still dispense if required. It has all the original paperwork attached and is in excellent order. I estimate it to date from around 1930.
Very rare to find such these days, especially in working order!
All questions are welcome.
