Is this Silver King machine an original or restored? What would the value be? Is it from the 1940's or 1950's? Thank you very much.
Answer Richard,
Silver King's were manufactured in the 1950's. Yours has the bigger 7# globe. Most Silver King's have the smaller 5# globe. It looks like original paint to me and is in very nice condition. They usually sell for $50-100. Your example may be worth a little more since it is so nice.
