AboutRodger 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!
Question I have a mills slot machine. I would like to know what it is worth. It says that it is a copyright of 1910 a BALL-FRUIT-GUM ? The only # I can see lol is 091122 I might be able to find more info with better glasses. Thank You
Answer Hi Timothy,
Well not much here to go by, the 1910 date is the reel strip copyright date and you see that used on 1950 machines even, so that date is no good. Your serial number tells me it could be a 1923-24 model if that is the serial number. Can you e-mail a photo??
to jackpot7@ix.netcom.com or send one? P.O. box 55531, shoreline WA. 98155.
