Stamp dispenser? I seem to remember these machines in Co-op stores in the late 1970s/early 1980s for dispensing stamps which you had to save and stick in a book. A filled book was worth £1 I think and you could use them like cash in the store. Think of them as similar to today's customer loyalty cards, e.g. Nectar.

Just watching the News and had my memory jogged...
it showed a checkout till in a supermarket in 1975
about head height over the money till, I saw a grey box about 8 x 10 inches with a ring of grey and green buttons in a semi circle

i remember them from back them but never knew what they did

any ideas?.
