I wondered if you could tell me anything about the history & value of this machine. The machine seems to be intact however we do not have a key. Thanks so much for your time!

Answer Hello Jackie
Your machine is a Master no. 2 a/k/a Master Gooseneck penny/nickel. From the pictures you sent to me at my email address, jomax9@hotmail.com, I would say your machine appears to be in fair to rough condition. You don't say whether the mechanism is working or not. If it were in good condition and full working order I would estimate its value at $300 to $400 at full retail.
