Question
I was wondering what the ball park value of a 1950 pinball machine is. It is named "Rag Mop" It works and is in fair-good condition. Manufacturer: Williams Manufacturing Company (1944-1958) [Trade Name: Williams] Model Number: 43
Type: Electro-mechanical (EM)
Theme: Music - Dancing
Notable Features: Flipper (1), Pop bumpers (2), Kickout holes (4), Left kickback lane. Tilt penalty is ball in play, tilt is reset by ball passing through rollunder wire at bottom of playfield below flipper.
Design by: Harry Williams
Art by: George Molentin
Thanks....Jim
Hi Jim,
I show the value of Rag Mop, at a high of $575.00, middle value of $400.00, and low of $200.00, my information is from a 1999 pinball price guide. I would do a search on ebay to get a current selling price if I were you, as things change. Hope this helps.
Sincerely
Rodger Knutson

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!
