Anyone know what a Mills 45 restored or unrestored would be worth? In working condition, with coin mech just needs to be restored.

Can anyone tell me what a Mills 45 is worth or what they have seen them sell for? Know a guy wanting to sell a working one for 1k.

Hi Brian
  A grand is a real good price, keep in mind that it has over 300 pounds of Mahogany inside. They are brutal to move around.

My opinion is if the Mills is functioning properly, and is complete, $1k is a good buy!
These don't come up for sale in complete working condition very often...
I don't know the details of what you may have discussed on price, but you could offer $900...
Let us know how this pans out...

I wish I had an extra $1k and that you passed on the deal...  I like the 45!

My six cents,

Brian,
Like I said in Chicago... I thought $1k is a great price if in good shape... if you had to restore it, then that would be tough.... Alot of wood in it like Tom Said....

but for a collector machine to sit and look good... go for it... AND DON"T TURN IT INTO A 7UP MILLS 45!!! biggrin biggrin

Get us some photos too!!!

Yeah! a Mills 45 is a very neat, very collectable early machine! ( although I don't care for the way this one's being treated in the picture, layed on its back & all. I mean, come on.. you wouldn't show a classic auto by standing it on end, ah well, some people.)

By the way, I'd go for it, looks pretty complete, but I'd like to see some all-around pictures of the front, sides, & back too.
