Does anyone have an idea on value!!!

Are you buying or selling?

Values based on supply and demand.  If it's rare and no one wants it, it's worth nothing.  If it's common, and everyone wants it, it's worth a lot.  Apparently not enough of these have been bought or sold to base a price on it.  P.M. Jim, he said he has one.  See what he paid for it.

I had one of these, no base 4-5 years ago.. I think I paid 350 for it and sold it for 500.00 as is.

you don't see them very much... so as Larry said , hard to put a "value" on it. but I think 300-500 would be fair?

So it appears to be more of an "odd duck" than a rare valuable machine.

IT'S STILL VERY COOL LOOKING.  Who knows maybe it will become popular later on.  I like it.

I love those machines... everyone has stoners and U selects, but those are unique... I'd be all over it if the price was right.

Is your machine complete?
I cannot see if there is a base or not... Or if the vending unit or coin gear is present...
I would say these sell between $300 - $550 depending on condition and completeness...  Obviously, a very nice original would bring more.
As for a manufacture date, I'm not sure as I have not found dated literature/documentation depicting one of the machines... My best guess would be mid to late 1940's
I posted a photo of my machine for reference

I would really like to know and see what bezel is mounted around the coin return lever ! ! !

I'm buying, then I'm selling. :biggrin: :biggrin:
