NewP - 1890 Money Changer - Think what this might have held! 1893-S, etc. - PIXS!

Picked this up today from a friend! I think it's very cool! Just imagine what rare coins (today) this probably held and dispensed! Gives me the chills. I put a Morgan, etc. so you could see it holding some old coins! It still dispensing them great! I need to clean it up a bit.
Thanks for letting me share.

Nice coin related item.

JRocco

That is really cool and a great find.

I wouldn't clean it up too much, unless it was in danger from rust or some other major problem I would leave it alone....besides- it's probably, like the coins it used to hold, less valuable after it has been cleaned

very cool.

Just where would something like that be used?

Bank/trolly/etc.

Looks heavy also...not that portable.

Trying to comprehend giving change with Morgan Dollars...Whew

I would think Banks is the best answer.

Yeah, it's hard to grasp!

Early version of the Roach-coach, the guy used to ride a mule pulling a chuck wagon and had that thing strapped around his neck as he cooked up an e-coli burger for the masses.

Don't clean it till you find out if it's NT or AT or MA.

Pretty cool old find though.....I am guessing it's from a bank...one that handled a LOT of gold as the key for the Morgan is nearly worn smooth or was replaced at some time as it doen's match the wear on the others.

Yeah, I 99% sure its has been replaced, but it was replaced a long time ago for sure!

Just imagine the gold and silver clicking out of this thing.

My guess would be a bank. One of the local banks here still uses devices very similar to than, but a little more recently made.

That's really cool. There's a lot of history behind that thing. Too bad you'll never know its story. Oh well, at least your imagination can run wild with thoughts!

Given that it has a dollar slot, I wonder if it was used in the west.
