1920s Exhibit machine before I redid it:
 And after:  Not functional but a great conversation piece in my office reception area.

I have distinct memories of going to our local department store (G.C. Murphys?) and putting in my nickels to get some football cards, and then realizing that the cards got older as I kept putting them in!
Thinking it started with 1971 and worked my way back to 1969 or 1968. Interesting to a 7 year old, at least!

machines
In the 80's and 90's, most card shops had these machines, and they sold a ton of cards. Also, many dealers brought the machines to card shows for people to "gamble " on.
I bought one as part of a collection several years ago and I sold it to a dealer at a card show. (Actually, I traded it to him for some 1971 Topps BB when I was putting the set together) He told me that he has a dozen machines. He doesn't do anything with them, he just likes them.

Every time I put a penny in those machines I would get a rock in return or a Joe Shlabotnik card.

Related, Williams released a baseball bat game in 1991 that had a card dispenser. It is categorised as a pinball game, although it really isn't one.
