Another similar BAC at the Swindon STEAM museum.
Great looking machines.

Ulrich, I don't believe any German operator would leave the British operators name plate (BAC) on the front of their machine. Unless you can find factory parts in the coin mech that point to a specific German coinage, then it's highly unlikely it was ever operated new in Germany. Your country was known for elaborate cast iron vending machines at the time anyway, so why import?
