This photo was used by the Exhibit Supply Co. of Chicago as their proof photograph to recreate arcade cards for their vending machines.
    Arcade cards are collectible picture cards that were issued from penny arcade vending machines. The cards were manufactured by the Exhibit Supply Co. of Chicago. The Exhibit Supply Co. began issuing the cards in 1921 and continued to issue and release new cards until 1966. The company issued an entire series of “pinup” cards showing female movie stars, showgirls or unknowns.

    Guaranteed to be 100% vintage and original from Grapefruit Moon Gallery.
