    Description

    Vintage Shell Gas Station Credit Card Processing Machine with Blank Credit Card
    . Has some wear, scratches and faded marker writing on top. I wiped it down a bit but this has not been professionally cleaned. It looks pretty clean and complete compared to other Shell Credit Card Machines I've seen, still has the blank credit card. The movement to push the blanket ink roller is a little stiff, it needs grease or professionally cleaned. Or leave it as is, if you look inside the date stamp it's left on 06/16/75. I'm not an expert in this type of item but I would say it's from the late 60's /70's. Please do research and inspect the photos and video. Please feel free to message me with any questions.
    Where I found this:
    This was found at an estate sale in Southern California inside a large garage / warehouse workshop.
    About the address on the metal imprint part of the machine:
    I looked up the address that's on the inside just below where the credit card would rest. I've tried to find a original photo of the actual Shell Gas Station, had no luck. The best I could do is find google maps photo of the location. Which it looks like it could of been a gas station. Google maps doesn't go back to the 60's/70's, the oldest photo I found was from 2007. There is two other Shell gas stations that are on Florida Ave. in Hemet CA. From some research I did it seems Florida Ave. was a very old major street in Hemet, CA. You can find old photos from the 1920's on this street.
