May 15th 2016 Premier Coin-Op Sale *Las Vegas (64)
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/14/2016
This machine is of German manufacture, by Jentzch & Meerz, and imported for the American market by a Philadelphia firm. It is a much rarer 25 cent version as opposed to the more common 5 cent version. A unique coin head that displays several coins, when the machine is played the patron shakes the dice cup, and if there is a winner, the bell rings and the bartender raises his glass in a congratulatory motion. A nice restoration to the wooden cabinet and metal castings. A complicated yet simplistic mechanism in many ways with great appeal/action when played. This machine was also one of Ron`s favorites and at the last minute he decided to let it go to auction with the rest of his 48 year collection. In fine working order. Circa 1927.
Condition: (Excellent).
Item Dimensions: 17" x 9" x 25"
