VINTAGE WORKING NORTHWESTERN MATCH BOOK VENDER W/KEY

Description

Machine has paint loss and rust. Lid has a hole for what purpose maybe for venting  also what looks like original pull handle only attached on 1 end. Inside has loading instructions back of lid. I loaded a few on 1 side inserted1 penny and 2 books came out, Matches have to be loaded both sides if you want matches to come out on both side1 penny per side. No matches included. The 2 metal plates that hold the matches in place are the weights, little tricky loading by hand. The plates rods are bent not sure how straight they are supposed to be but are working at this time. The lock is a little loose., the key has to be inserted properly in order to release bottom plate.
