i would like to send you a picture of this scale  

Answer
Hi Urszula

WOW, I am on vacation. I notified all experts but guess you slipped by some how or something else went wrong. Any way just got back from a trip and leaving again.Sorry if you have been waiting long.

The link to the photo you sent me shows a American Scale Model 403 made in 1950. This model the 403 dropped the Penney back feature and had 12 slots on top for the months. pick your birth month and get a reading on the drum wheel. There is another model that looks just like this on, the model 400 which you could win your penny back. Anyway your scale has a price guide value of $120.00.

Thank You
Sincerely

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. Please email photo's to: jackpot7@ix.netcom.com My web site is at: http://www.coinslots.com

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!
