What the machine archive shows
Evidence by model and date
The dated archive currently runs from Gertner Vender (Early 1930's, 1932) through Gertner Vender (Early 1930's, 1932). It contains 3 model records, 1 with recorded production dates and 3 with surviving model-specific photography.
The documented production footprint is distributed across 1930s (1). These totals describe this archive—not necessarily the company’s complete output—and will change if additional period records are recovered.

Research note: Profile scope is 3 archived machine records. Company background was independently restated from the site’s preserved manufacturer overview; view the archived source. Dates, photographs, and model counts come from the linked records. Where the preserved evidence is incomplete, the page says so instead of filling gaps with conjecture.
