I recently purchased this trade stimulator for a decoration piece in my home.  When i received it I cant find any markings on it to identify the manufacturer or maker.  Any ideas of how to identify who made this machine?  thanks!

Answer
Groetchen "ZEPHYR" came out in 1937

Hi Scott,

Yes, I know your machine, I'll attach a photo and information about it to this answer so you can print it out. It's the 1937 Groetchen "ZEPHYR". The information attached will tell you the information on it and the value (guide) is listed at $250.00. This should cover it I think?

Thank you and please leave feedback for me.

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!
