Stamp and postcard vending machine, 1937

Enamel plates on a grey metal machine read 6-Rpf. Briefmarken and 6-Rpf. Postkarten above two coin slots and crank handles. A hand inserts a coin and turns the crank, a stamped postcard drops into the tray, and in close view fingers draw it out. Six Reichspfennig was the inland postage for a postcard; the Reichspost had set up such machines outside its offices so that cards and stamps could be had after closing time.
