Anyone know what a Restored Working Mills 45 has sold for or worth?

Guys,

Anyone know what a restored Mills 45 is worth? I know they are rare, but what is a good price on one?? I know where a restored one is and it is in working original condition. Not sure if one has sold in the last year or not, as I have not seen any sell. Anyone know a value?

Hey Brian,

Quote

I know where a restored one is and it is in working original condition

Is the machine in nice original condition or has it been restored properly...?
Or has the machine been checked out and gone through to ensure everything is functioning and then had a nice paint job applied...?
If someone did a thorough restoration on a Mills 45, they spent some time and money! Without knowing the details, I'll go out on a limb and place a value between $4000-$5000 for something in excellent original functioning condition. An properly restored one would possibly fetch more...

Well Brian, the Mills is valuable just as is the Edsel. But I would not invest in either as they have no real unique features. That's just my opinion though!

It is restored to perfection. Original coin mech, belt driven compressor and so on. I will get some pics to show everyone. Seems like you never see restored one's show up? Maybe a Coke collector who likes Mills would pay good money for one.
