These items were originally dispensed from standard 1-cent penny arcade vending machines at boardwalks, fairs, and amusement parks during the mid-20th century.Each piece features a distinct, retro photographic glamour and burlesque style pose. All six carry the authentic "Made in U.S.A." stamp along the bottom front border.The reverse sides are entirely blank and unprinted, featuring the raw, heavy tan cardstock typical of original Exhibit Supply Co. arcade releases from this era.Condition Report:Please review all front and back photos carefully as these are being sold together as-is. The backs show widespread age toning, spotting, foxing, and handling wear. Three of the cards show distinct signs of age on the front as well, including significant surface staining, moisture marking, and paper loss/peeling on the top-left and top-middle cards. The remaining three cards are in good vintage condition with typical light edge and corner wear from age. A wonderful starter lot or restoration project for any classic arcade, pin-up, or paper Americana collector!--These items are part of an estate from a collector and carpenter by trade (descended from other crafts-persons, mostly in Connecticut).
