RARE, 1937 Daval Manufacturing Co. Coin-op, Counter-top TradeStimulator.The REEL SPOT \"good old shell game\"
This game was a fixture in my Family\'s Milwaukee tavern, The \"Who\'s Little Club\" from the 1930\'s through the 60\'s, Definitely show\'s it\'s age, andimmense character. Would be a relatively easy restoration, if that was the look you were after. But the way it stands, you can practically here the laughter, jovial conversation and glasses clinking.
Cast aluminum cabinet, with swivel base, has 4 small windows on the front. When you put in anydenominationcoin, pull the lever on the side and four reels spin inside. The left reel shows your multiplier or odds for pay outs. The other three reels have shutters over them and a small button under each. When you push only one, the shutter pops open. If there is a winning spot there, you win that amount times whatever coin you put in. A small window on the right side shows the last coin played. A bartender or shopkeeper confirms this to make the payout. There is a dial on the right side as well, to clear each coin played.
As far as I know, while this machine was in the tavern, it never contained the mechanism for rewarding you with agumball, as the shoot suggests, rather serving as a thin veil to conceal the gambling aspect.
I\'m also including anassortment of coin-op permits from our family\'s tavern, ranging from 1947-1956
Completely functional, but could surely use some oil,applied by a better versed person than myself.Condition is as shown. Unrestored, and not even completely cleaned. Original lock and key.
Please feel free to ask any questions, and thanks for looking.
