Could you give me a ball park value of this one. It is a 5 cent machine called ..21... It has a automatic single flipper .The score board is powered by  six one and a half volt batteries.There is a Pat. No. 1933 on coin insert mech.Can you assist me?

Answer
Hi There Don,

Four different manufactures made a machine called 21, and one of them was called 21 odds. Can you tell me who manufactured your game? and/or if it's called just 21 and not 21 Odds? Thanks! I have to get to work but if you get this information to me I'll try to get something for you tonight.

Thanks

Sincerely

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!
