I have a Rol-A-Tor fruit machine that was my Dad's. I used to play with it as a child and it has great sentimental value. However, I am about to move overseas and can't take it with me. I would like it to go to a good home where someone would appreciate it for what it is.

I have no idea how much to try to sell it for and I don't want to just give it away where it will be unappreciated. I have looked for a serial number but can't see one. The case has the following marks:

Pat. No. 1763241
Des. Pat. No. 94718 & 94719
May 1934

Any advice on how I should find a good home for my machine and how much I should ask for it would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I would suggest going to http://www.AntiqueSlotMachinePriceGuide.com to research values. You will see actual sale prices and not just get someones opinion. It will cost you a whopping $3.95 to get the prices though.

You can also list it for sale there (click on the I Want To Sell A Slot) link and it will take you to a form where you can fill out simple information. Once you do that serious dealers / collectors will be notified via email. There is no fee to list it for sale.

I happen to be one of those collectors

Please send me an email (Dave@IBuyOldSlots.com) as I would like to get more information.

Good luck with the machine. If it is priced reasonably you should not have any problem selling it.

Just to let the other collectors know, your machine is mismatched. Your penny Rol-A-Tor should have a gum ball vender and not a mint vender on it. No manufacturer made a penny machine that gave away a roll of mints for a penny. Also the coin entry is much larger than a penny. A penny mechanism has been put in a nickel or quarter cabinet. An original denomination badge for a Rol-A-Tor will be impossible to find.
