Hi nvmos2,
Thanks for your reply and information, really appreciate it...Nice to hear you lived for a while in Holland..
The person i bought it from had 5 dutch boys, all were restored and had the polished look.. I thought the patina look was caused by the age of the machines, ik expected that the machines leaved the factory thosedays with a little more shiny look.. Well i like both,but prefer always original..
This machine comes from a German collector, but i dont know him in person...
And your right, the dancing dutch farmer boys was also a reason to look for this type of slotmachine....... But i also still dont understand why Jennings produced these machines, cant believe Holland was a big market, such a small country??????
The coin head is marked with 5FR, well France???? The sticker says 25 cent you say, you mean the hand drawning??
Just checked the sticker, i found the serial nummer, unfortunatedly it doesnt match with the number on top..... is this a big problem??? or do i have bad luck??? and was this a bad purchase for me???
is this because the cabinet was damaged after couple of years or the mech was broken???? Or has this something to do with reproduction or something???
Luckily the machines works fine and pays correct prices...
The community of antique slotmachines lovers in Holland is very small, so i was glad when i found this forum....after looking interesting videos from Dave.
Wouter..
