Comments:  These chocolate dispensing machines were popular around 1900. This model is unbranded but it is normally marked "Stollwerck", the other major brands producing these banks were "Hartwig & Vogels", "Nestle" and "Droste". To receive your miniature bar of chocolate you simply place a small coin in the slot at the top, which releases the drawer and then you just pull it open.  The machine is decorated with a red and blue "Art Nouveau" design, with nine different shadowgraphs featured on the front and sides. It is in good condition, but it is missing the rear sheet of glass.
