Question
I HAVE A ONE CENT ONE ARM PENNY-PACK GUMBALL MACHINE/WITH CIGARETTE CYLINDERS OVER 120 YEARS OLD DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH IT IS WORTH THANK YOU

JERRY

Answer

Daval 1940 Penny Pack
Hi Jerry,

You do not have a Manufactures name listed in your question but I would guess that it is the one made by Daval and produced between 1939 and 1940 as this is the only Penny Pack trade stimulator that I have listed in my information. If I am right on which one you have, please see the attached photo with information. This will give you not only it's value, but correct date of manufacture, and tons of history information on it. Please let me know if this is the right machine, as if you have something different, I would sure like to know. I like to get right on the questions asked of me here, but allexperst has had a problem of not emailing me when questions are posted and waiting for me. The short delay in response to you is not due to me, and hopefully the allexerts webmaster will get this fixed soon, see below, and also you should be able to print the information and photo I am attaching here for you Jerry.

For some reason the allexperts quit notifying me that there are questing waiting for me, I just found your question here by chance. (ATTENTION ALLEXPERTS WEBMASTER are you Reading this? I am not getting notifications to questions waiting for me, can you fix this problem for me?)

Thank You
Sincerely

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!
