Title: mystic pen
Post by: mrsoda on May 29, 2009, 03:42:00 pm
This is a very cool machine i bought off another collector, it is called the mystic pen, you drop in a nickel push in coin slide. you put your hand down on the hand on the machine, now the pen starts to write you a message, in about 30 seconds you get a card with a message, made in 1950, very cool machine, the only thing i had to do, was make a new sign. the guy had one made, but he put 1 cent it should be 5 cents. had a guy hand paint one on card board stock, so it looks old. will install it tonight.

That's really cool.  It is amazing how that kind of stuff was even produced in the "old days"

I love the ingenuity and engineering accomplishments of the 40's & 50's. Very nice machine!
