The antique NYC fare box bus trolley streetcar coin machine was manufactured in the United States in the 1900s. This historic piece likely served as a fare collection device for public transportation systems in cities like Chicago and New York. It would have been used to collect coins from passengers riding on buses, trolleys, and streetcars, reflecting a bygone era of transportation and urban life. The pics show the collection unit with a glass top. The coins were collected in the top and when the glass was full, the lever on the side would dump the coins into the vault in the bottom. This unit contains the vault in the bottom as well as a spare vault.
