Hi,

Just picked up this machine.

Any idea on age?
Are the painted sides original?

When I took apart to clean....found these 10 tokens behind the faceplate. Ones marked 1914

Thanks

The ribbon on the bottom casting says 1922. My guess would be 1923. The castings are aluminum--they would be cast iron if earlier and the glass was rounded not flat. And it's pre-jackpot which was around 1928. So there's the range--about 1923-24. I doubt the paint is original as they were usually just finished wood on the sides.
