BidProwl Summary
Red mechanical donation parking meter from Salt Lake City's HOST homeless-outreach program, previously displayed at Van Gogh 360 museum with bright red finish, program graphics, and coin slots for nickels, dimes and quarters. Museums and nonprofits buy retired civic displays for educational exhibits, and collectors want unique local-history pieces with charitable messaging. Before bidding verify the coin mechanism actually functions since testing was incomplete, confirm whether mounting hardware and keys are included based on photos, and inspect paint damage and decal wear on the housing and messaging panels.
