Question
Do you know of anybody interested in an old Vulcan Safe? its in great shape, still works, small compartment inside and still have the key for that! All original paint with nice painting of ship on front.  Sorry I dont have a pic. handy but I'm at work right now and just found your site.  I'd be happy to send a pic for someone interested.  As far as shipping, someone would need to pick it up. I live 30 miles south of Buffalo NY.  If I remember correct its 22Dx20Wx30 tall.  I will take exact measurements if needed.

Answer
Sorry Reeee, some how I missed your request! I answered another question and found yours waiting. That sounds like a really neat safe, If I wasn't on the west cost I would buy it, I might like it anyway, could you send a photo if it's not two much trouble? P.O. box 55531, shoreline Washington 98155. I have used small safes like this for slot machine stands, there great for this. I have seen a few in the ebay auction under slot machines of all places. You could also place a free add on my web site if you like, it's http://www.coinslots.com I wonder how heavy it is, 250 pounds give or take?

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!
