Hi all, I am trying to figure what brand this five reel trade stimulator gum ball slot machine is (see photos). It looks similar to the Buckley machines, but has no written brand on it. It has an eagle on the back and says "Made in the USA". Would anyone potentially be able to recognize the brand? Also- any idea how much it might be worth? Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

You have one of the many variations of the Groetchen Pok-O-Reel trade stimulators from about 1933. They were found in 3 or 5 reel variations with and without gum vender.
They are nice collectible machines; yours has been spray bombed, is missing the top marque and I think the reel strips have been replaced.
I don't know what the little window and knob on the right front is for or what it does, but I doubt very much it is original to the machine. I assume you use the knob to select your horse number in the little window; if you can change it after the reels have stopped, you know it's bogus.

This horse race themed machine is now listed on flebay with a starting bid of $749 (not a typo) or make offer plus shipping.
