IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH ONLY THE KEY MISSING FOR THE BACK. ALMOST FLAWLESS IT CAME OUT OF AN OLD DRUGSTORE.IT HAS CHROME TRIM ON FRONT EDGES AND THREE CHROME STRIPS ABOUT A FOOT TALL IN THE MIDDLE AT AN ANGLE. I WAS WONDERING WHAT IS IT WORTH.
Hi Jason,
)
Great description, and I think we nailed it! See attached photo to see if we have the right scale. Value guide gives this scale a value of $100.00 but by your description I am not going along with that figure. I would think you could get maybe $300.00 or more for it, it's a nice scale, but I am just relaying what the value guide is telling me. The photo will also have information about your scale on it, so you might want to click on the photo and then print it.
Thank You
Sincerely
Rodger Knutson

Expertise
I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience
I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
