A pen vending machine, seen at an antique shop.  Cool design on this one.. a pen was only 25 cents!

    Never saw one of these before. I need one of these for my house. LOVE it! EXCEEDINGLY jealous!

    Do you know what this was selling for?

      I don’t recall how much this one cost… my photo’s too blurry to check out the price tag. I’m sure they’d tell you over the phone though.

      I did some research and I found a couple of these *still installed* and working on various college campuses. Seems like a pretty handy machine. They had upped the price to 50 cents a pen on the working ones I found online. I don’t know if you can tell, but the pens sat horizontally in the slots, not vertically, so each slot held about a half dozen pens.
