Stamp vending machines​

Who remembers these old stamp vending machines? Before mobile phones, writing letters was a popular way to stay in touch. And thanks to stamp vending machines, people could quickly and easily purchase stamps for their letters. They were usually found outside the Post Office, dispensing stamps one at a time, and were a lifesaver for those of us in a hurry to get a letter in the mail. Do you remember these?

1950 is early for decimal currency?

Sure do. Handy to avoid a queue if you only wanted a stamp or after hours.

I remember them but I thought they were shillings and pence back then.
