1937 Watling treasury antique slot machine casino for sale

[@forexpivots7431]

Exactly, a quarter would buy a LOT --- not to mention that all quarters at that time were at least 90% pure silver.

Great video, great machine. What book are you using for the reference on price. Thanks

[@marksmith4512]

What was the percentage this machine paid off?

[@pentergraph]

This machine seems to kick the reels very hard and fast but damn is the clock slow.

I have the same machine with the penny coin mech. Totally restored by a master 85 year old retired Watling factory workers son. Is the penny unit of any value serial # 47?

Piggy bank (sometimes penny bank or money box) is the traditional name of a coin container usually used by children. The piggy bank is known to collectors as a "still bank" as opposed to the "mechanical banks" popular in the early 20th century. These items are also often used by corporations for promotional purposes. The use of the name 'piggy bank' gave rise to its widely-recognized 'pig' shape, and many financial services companies use piggy banks as logos for their savings products. Piggy banks are typically made of ceramic or porcelain.[1] They are generally painted and serve as a pedagogical device to teach the rudiments of thrift and savings to children; money can be easily inserted. Many piggy banks have a rubber plug located on the underside; others are made of vinyl and have a removable nose for easy coin access. Some incorporate electronic systems which calculate the amount of money deposited.[2] Some piggy banks have no opening besides the slot for inserting coins, which will lead to smashing the piggy bank with a hammer or by other means, to obtain the money within.

If I sent my serial # can you tell me when mine was made? I think 1937. It's a Watling blue label 5 cent slot. Patent # 1763841, Machine #66780, Style listed as Golden Gate model. Thanks, if you can. Pat

[@AwesomeCoinOp]

Hi Pat - yes, I can provide you with an estimate of the year of manufacture. Note that the serial number is required. This should be stamped INTO the wood cabinet or the metal castings. The patent number and the machine number (raised letters / numbers" were the same in all machines of that model. The Serial Number is unique to each machine and - again- is STAMPED INTO the case/cabinet.

John Zuk The serial # is 66780 and it's the 5cent mentioned above. I just can't remember the year. I know it's the 30's. Thanks much
