Question
My father in law has a 2 horse coin operated carousel. He wants to sell it, but we have no idea what it's all about. Can you give us any information on it? Age? Value?

Hi Kevin
I would like to tell you that I know more about these kiddie rides but I don't and I don't want to give you any bum information on it as to it's value and year built. I have seen these on a couple of web sites and mostly referred as kiddie rides when searching for them. Here one web site that may have some information about these for you:
http://gameroomantiques.com/NelsonPlayfield.htm
this is an interesting kiddie ride with the two horse's on it, it looks to me to be made in the 60's but that's just my guess, and I would guess it's value at around $2,500.00 retail but I am guessing again here, and feel I could be a little high on this. Sorry Kevin I can't give you a whole lot more on these kiddiy rides, but I don't deal in them so I am only going by what little I know about them. You might also do a search for this ride on ebay and see what there selling for at auction there.
Thank you

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!
