. The Puss in Boots went for the relatively cheap price of $80,000 + 20% ($96,000). Both of these were original and not reproductions.The Watling Cupid sold for $65,000 + 20%.
The common three reel machines were cheap. Many of them had horrible restorations. The gold plated Bird of Paradise Rol-A-Top sold for $5,500 + 20% which shocked me. I thought it would go for around $3,000.
