I just picked up this Daval Spinapack, I don't remember having seen one before so I searched on line and have not seen an other, I found a Buckley Spinapack, a Daval Winapack but nothing on this machine, besides the upper casting it's the same as the Centasmoke and the Daval Gum Vendor so I am assuming that it was manufactured around the same time of the early to mid thirties.
As any one seen one of these?

The Daval Spin-A-Pack is pictured on P143 in the Bueschel's publication. The guide to Vintage Trade Stimulators & Counter Games.
Attached is The Buckley Spin-A-Pack

O yes, I got so use to looking things up on line that I rarely look things up in print, now I remember were I seen it, just got my copy out and started to read it again, lot of good material, now that i started to read it again there is an other machine on page 199 that is very interesting, it's a Daval SAFE HIT, Bill do you still have that machine? I am trying to get every model Daval trade stimulator made, I take that that is going to be a hard one to find, but the hunt is half the fun.

Give the Chop Shop dude a call. If you can't find it he will create one for you.

Alright, alright, stop giving the Butcher new ideas to screw people! He has way too many Fakes now!

Al:
Congrats on bagging the Daval "Spin-A-Pack". There are a few others out there, but not as many as
most other models. The one on page 143 of Dick's Bible, is mine. They also made a "Win-A-Smoke"
in the same case style.
The most common Buckley is the "Cent-A-Pack", but they made a "Spin-A-Pack", as shown above, as
well as a couple of other names. All of those nameplates have "Ball Gum" in the casting, underneath.
The Daval "Safe Hit" is still the only one known, and it is not for sale. If there is another example out
there, I hope you find it.

I have got to have one of the Spin-A-Pack machines....my last name is cast into the top and would make one cool addition to my game room. The hunt now begins on my end.

OK, I'll go there!
Is it Mr. Spin, Mr. Pack, or Mr. A ? Or "Ay", as the Fonze would say?
