Question
Value of William Tell brass bank, dated 1900. Foot of Tell presses down & releases penny into
bank and knocks down apple?

Answer
Hi Sandy,
Coin operated banks are a whole another collector's field and I don't collect or work on them, they're banks and more like toys not the commercial coin operated games that I deal with, sorry that this is not my field and I just don't know anything about them.

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!
