I recently acquired a 1 2 3 Coin Operated Vending Machine. I'd like to know more about it but haven't had much luck so far. Does anyone know more about it?

those old ones were you could get either 1, 2 or 3 cents stamps can be worth something, it depends on condition. a parts only machin might only bring 20-30 bux but a fully restored one can bring a couple thousand.

What's the name of the manufacturer? Can you scan a photo of it? With additional data, we might be able to provide you with more information.

WOW~ I remember seeing those in 30th Street Station in Philadelphia and Penn Station, in New York. That was 60 years ago when I was a kid in the 50's. They sat in the Waiting Room near the newsstands with the post card racks. Thanks for the memories.

It was manufactured circa 1948 according to this article, when they were under contract with the USPOD to install 1500 of these vending machines nationwide:
