Anyone know anything about this Mills mech. I believe it is from an early Mills Operator Bell. I'm thinking about selling it and would like to know for sure what it is.

It is an early Mills mech. missing the gooseneck and the original overflow tube.

Is it worth anything?? It does have metal reel strips but two of them have Cincinnati Vending Co. on them. I do have the gooseneck but I don't know if it is all there.

The trick is to find the gooseneck, although they show up on Ebay once in awhile. Otherwise it is a good parts mech. Put it up on Ebay, see what happens.

it is an early mills pin mech from a cast iron machine, you dont see many of these, to the right person it could be valuable.

That's what I thought it might be, but I didn't know for sure. I will most likely sell it since I have no machine it will fit.

Anyone have a original overflow tube or a picture of what it would look like.

There is an old cast iron pin mech slot for sale on craigslist boston maybe you could contact the seller and see if he can sand you a picture of the tube.

Didn't the early Mills reel bundles have metal spokes instead of stamped metal hubs?

Aside from getting a picture - that is a great buy on an older Mills! Like those original baseball strips. Wow!
