Title: Mills 45 Value? Post by: Seven181 on November 16, 2007, 02:33:49 pm Anyone know what a Mills 45 restored or unrestored would be worth? In working condition, with coin mech just needs to be restored.

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. Title: Re: Mills 45 Value? Post by: Jim on November 19, 2007, 07:27:04 am 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! Title: Re: Mills 45 Value? Post by: SIGNGUY on November 19, 2007, 09:48:42 am 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!!! Title: Re: Mills 45 Value? Post by: Seven181 on November 19, 2007, 02:50:54 pm Guys,
Not sure I am going to move on it or not. I will get some pics and let you know. Title: Re: Mills 45 Value? Post by: Seven181 on November 24, 2007, 11:02:31 am Here is a pic.

If not the book shows ICE COLD IN BOTTLES along the front.... I could make those letters for you.... those are the same looking letters I made for my fountain service sign... You gonna get it?... Title: Re: Mills 45 Value? Post by: johnieG on November 25, 2007, 09:34:04 pm 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. |
