A Rare 1950s Free-Standing Kodak Film Vending Machine. Manufactured by Brecknell, Dolman & Rogers, this Kodak film vending machine is a remarkable survivor and is in very good, fully working condition with just a few areas of minor paint loss. It was used by Forest Photos, Ringwood, Dorset from the late 1950s until the early 1960s. It is fitted out to dispense Kodak 620, 120 and 127 black & white roll film for which it takes a maximum of 4/- (2 x 2 shilling pieces). Thanks to a very clever (still operational) mechanism in each of the 3 round dispensers at the top of each column, it can be pre-loaded with a different amount of change for each film size, so various prices could be charged. It was wheeled outside every night and bolted to the wall for safety (the brackets are included) so people could buy film out of hours There is a flap at the top where exposed films could be dropped off for processing. It is thought that the shop had an awning or a small alcove which as protected the machine from the weather over the years. After the machine was 'retired' in the 1960s it ended up in the owner's garage. The two original keys are still present. Forest Photos closed in 1981. Free-standing at approx. 167cm x 44cm x 23cm, it is very heavy.
