Title: Dad's Ideal 55 Embossed Slider
Post by: mygoose101 on February 21, 2015, 04:43:46 pm
Arrived today. Special thanks to Slapshot for the lead via text, I believe another member passed it on to him.

Embossed Dad's Slider. Was a CL find, it wasn't a give away machine, paid a decent price but well worth it. What sold me on the machine besides the rarity was the color on both the machine and the logo. 100% working complete original. When talking to the seller we didn't discuss how rare it was but he did tell me he had owned it for over 40 years and was going to remodel his den where the machine was and felt it was time for machine to go. I agreed. :biggrin:

If machine needed to be restored then I would not have had much of a interest but to find it in this original condition, wow!

That looks nice. Great colors! Which part is embossed? It's tough to tell in the photo. Is it the red around "Dad's" plus the red outline around the blue?

It is embossed around the entire logo, at the red border. It goes back in, (de-bossed) at the red ribbon around the Dad's, then each letter is embossed again. Basiclly where you see red in the logo.
