Question
My father has a 1922 Fancy Front Pace nickel machine. On the top right hand corner, where the coin is inserted, is raised lettering "Pat'd Jan 17 22". On top of the machine there is raised lettering "Pat'd 1-17-22....11-24-25. Also, on the right are vertical numbers "70524". The very front of the machine, again in raised letters, "Pace Mfg. Co Chicago Illinois". In the back there are two removable doors. The smaller one reads, "C.V. 35A" and a larger door reads "write for repair list O.D. Jennings and Co, 43909-39 S. Lake St., Chicago Illinois. It has a list of maintenance for the machine. Thank you for any information.
Buzz
The Pace Fancy Front was made in the mid 1930s. They are nice machines but not all that rare.
To do more research, go to www.AntiqueSlotMachinePriceGuide.com and do a search. Look at the seller descriptions and you might be able to get more information.
Is there anything specific about this machine you wanted to know?

Expertise
My expertise is in the area of antique slot machines. Specifically pre 1940 era machines. I have an extensive price history list of slot machines that have been sold on eBay and other auction houses (e.g., Victoria Casino Auctions, Rich Penn Auctions, etc.). PLEASE, do not send questions about anything that is not coin-op related. I have no expertise in other items and cannot help you.
Experience
1. I run a discussion forum on coin operated devices (http://www.coinopcollectorforum.com)
2. I maintain a web site which tracks price trends for antique slot machines (www.AntiqueSlotMachinePriceGuide.com)
3. I published an 8 hour video tape on how to properly restore a Mills slot machine back in the 1990s
4. I published a book (Coin Op On CD) which was distibuted on a CD. This CD had many articles and thousands of photos of antique coin operated devices. It also had many videos of rare and unusual coin operated devices.
This CD has since been published on the web (http://www.ibuyoldslots.com/COCD/)
5. I have written articles on how to identify fake/reproduction slot machines.
