That is definitely a Caille Dough Boy, circa 1935. Positives are, this model is unusual to find in 25c denomination and with the complete piping trim intact (the rectangular trim around the JP is usually the first to go) and it appears to come with a healthy supply of quarters inside a likely functional jackpot and reserve; the reel strips and paper look OK. Negatives: escalator is malfunctioning (as noted by previous poster) but that's often the result of the pump fluid running low; the trim is dented, and the cabinet wood and front casting has been painted over with a brush as if it was a backyard shed. No internal pictures and we don't even know if it has a back door, back lip, cash box, etc. If it's truly complete and you took the time and expense to repair, strip, repaint, refinish and detail the item, it might fetch somewhere around $600.00 to $800.00, maybe more if you talked-up the quarter play.
