Larry I'll have to look when I pick it up I think the slot is closed off though I know the coin return is. I did see some match covers inside the machine. I'll know more when I pick it up.

I've never had a Rowe cigarette machine, but the Nationals had an entire stack mechanism on the left of the vend stack made just for match books. The vend mech had a chute from the coin bezel. On models without this they just had the blank bezel like yours. The matches could vend for 1c. I don't know if they could be set higher. I've got pics from the early 50's when my dad slit open the cigarette packs and stuck in 2c change because the machine couldn't be set for lower than a quarter.
