Great 1950s KOTEX Feminine Napkin Dispenser Pharmacy
Offered for your consideration is a very hard to find, 1950s, product dispenser labeled KOTEX FEMININE NAPKINS, complete with key. Machines such as this were traditionally found in public bathrooms. The napkin selling price IS marked at only 5 cents, which signifies an earlier model.

The dispenser measures 20.5 inches high x 7 inches wide and just over 5 inches deep. The cabinet opens up revealing the inner compartment that would have housed the individually wrapped feminine napkins, and a paper label that lists installation, operation, and coin box instructions, as well as servicing locations.

The front panel sports an old label noting the very prestigious FRICK BUILDING in New York City as the dispenser's place of installation and use. (This building is actually the former Frick family mansion built in 1913, now called the Frick Collection and Frick Art Reference Library, located at 1 East 70th Street, Manhattan, New York City. The Frick Collection was founded by Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919), the Pittsburgh coke and steel industrialist. At his death, Mr. Frick bequeathed his New York residence and the most outstanding of his many art works to establish a public gallery for the purpose of “encouraging and developing the study of the fine arts.”)

The dispenser's condition is considered very good noting the expected patina of a used dispenser with various scuffs, paint wear and a minor bump on the edge just below the letter "K".

This is a heavy item so it will not fall into the parameters of our frequent free shipping offer. Please inquire for pricing on shipping.
