Good evening gentlemen....I am redoing a Daval Penny Pack...the blue one not the yellow one....and am having difficulty determining if the contrasting color was red or a very dark orange.....I have finally decided the little stars were black and not dark blue, but if I am wrong please let me know....Any help from more experienced people would be greatly appreciated.... Which came first the blue or the yellow model??? Thankyou...... Bob Reno in Fort Payne Alabama

Hi Bob:
The Penny Pack came in two common color schemes. The Blue & Red, (which is the earlier version), and the Black & Yellow,
(which is the later version). There are also several case variations of both, but only the Black & Yellow came in the taller coin
divider case. I also have pix of other original color variations, but haven't come across that many, which leads me to believe
that they were not factory painted, and most likely operator repaints, but were not painted over either of the two standard
color schemes, therefore had to have been stripped beforehand. There were two different shades of dark blue as well, but the
second color is Red, not dark orange, and the circle of stars is Dark Blue on some, and Black on others. But the small sections
of grooves that border the reel window frame is Red. If you have any other questions about painted areas, I can go into more
detail about them later.

Thankyou you both for your helpful replies...The photo of the embossed back door was nice to see as I would have gotten that backwards...the machine was stripped before I ever saw it....The stars on the handle side and in the circle around the front are black so I guess the stars around the Daval Mfg on the back door should be too ????..I have to admit here that I did two machines at the same time and the plain and embossed doors will be switched...Is that really really wrong???
