AboutChad Boekelheide Expertise I'm an expert on coin operated machines. I can answer questions on slot machines, gumball & peanut machines, jukeboxes, arcade machines, pinball machines, gambling machines and any other device that operates with a coin. I have a couple hundred machines in my collection and have seen hundreds of others while traveling across the country and going to antique shows. I can give an appraisal on your item, but please send a picture if possible so I can give you accurate information. You can send pictures to me at buck@nvc.net

QUESTION: cant get pix up but the outside case is down to a tan with the brown letters
Don,
Most of the pulver's were porcelain. However for a brief period the pulver company sold painted cases in either yellow or red. With age the red cases often turn a shade of brown. I'm assuming that is what you have. It is better to leave antique's as is and let a collector decide how to clean or restore a machine. Many collectors prefer original condition vs. restored. I also need to know how tall the case is to give a value. Can you measure the height?
