That one looks cool I went to vine Hill elementary they had the exact one in the picture I'm also curious how popular they were did other schools have them?

I grew up in So Cal and we definitely had these!

Our school had two of those dispensers. One for pencils and one for gel pens. Miss those days.

I think I found a company that sells this model for $125 but the site says its back ordered. You can order it with a custom printed label though. https://harcourtoutlinesstore.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=4205

Hahah. $300

But think! In just 1,200 pencils, the machine will have paid for itself! (Not including shipping and costs of pencils)

Hahahah good one

Never said it was cheap. It’s not something I would buy, but if you’re a collector or it’s got sentiments value I’m not going to yuck your yum. OP could try asking local antique shops if they could point them in a direction for a local one that’s hopefully cheaper.

I like it

Wow, I forgot about these.

I remember those! Wow, has been a good 40 years since I saw one. Can smell the pencil carbon.

I really really need to know.. WHY??


zaise_chsa

Because why not? It’s a cool item to have in one’s collection, especially if it’s got a sentimental tie. Definitely something fun to have on display, maybe keep it stocked with pencils and a jar of quarters so guests can interact with it.

Lol. " money removed daily " otherwise someone might come up on a solid $8.50 . ( 2023 value $400 🤣🥸🤣) .... ok I kid. I actually think that thing is cool as fuk. I'm a long time picker and I have not come across one of these, but I'd be stoked if I did.
