I have been contacted by 2 individuals who want to sell;
I'm not interested in either;
serious buyers contact me by PM for seller contact info.

1. Two storage lockers of gum and candy machines for sale; 1950s and newer.
Many Ford machines, "converted" to 10 cents.
Some penny machines.
They've been selling them one at a time on Flebay, but want to unload them all at once.
Located near Roanoake, VA

2. Slot collection; 14 machines plus some custom stands.
Some of the Golden Nugget (GN) machines may actually be original; you determine.
I did not check them closely or verify the names he put on them.
Prices shown are what he paid (high retail), but he is supposedly motivated to sell and would take reasonable offers.
The wife says they are willing to give them away, but that is probably an exageration.
Located near Washington, Dist. of Corruption.

Yes, Pics will be a great help, if any of our Forum members are interested. As far as the "Golden Nugget" machines,
all I need is just one pix of each, to tell if it is what I call a "Golden Magget" or not. Rest assured, if there are as many
as listed, they are. If there is an original in the group, it should be gobbled-up in a heartbeat. Another machine, I have
never seen a logical reason to repro, is a "Golden Falls", when there have always been tons of originals to choose from.
In fact, it is one of the three most common models used, to make up the Fake "Golden Magget" models from. Most prices
listed, are way out-of-line, but the console models may come close, if they are in really nice shape, and complete. Not
any early stuff to get all excited about, except maybe the "Silent Sphinx".

Here are photos of the above slots/stands;
you can readily see which GNs MAY be original;
also, note Silent Sphinx has some problems with 1st reel and escalator.

The 50 cent and 5 cent Golden Nuggets appear to be original. I've never seen a Jennings Golden nugget but I suppose that's what I'd expect them to look like.
Nice collection but a bit high priced IMHO.

There is a nice original Jennings Dollar GN pictured on Cherry Restorations website. Hard to tell in the pictures but it looks like the base has plated metal "skin" similar to the original Mills machines.

Hans Havlicek made lots of those reproduction Jennings Golden Nugget slot machines . Not sure how you could determine if those Jennings are reproduction . Maybe someone on this forum may know. If there is a way . Would be curious if they are identified as Golden Nugget on the paper tag on the inside of the cabinet . The Havlicek machines are nicely done but not original .
