Another one goes to The Big Casino in the Sky!
Sad to hear, still have some of their old literature from Royal Bell, LTD. when they were in Arvada, Colorado when Rick and Dale were their carvers for the Frank Polk style characters!
Beautiful write up on his life!
RIP

Sorry to hear of this. I have an old notebook from my father. It contains a bunch of nice 8x10 color photos of his work and an old sales brochure. I'll post some photos tomorrow as a bit of tribute.

Was never a fan of his repro stuff but Bill in the early days found lots of fantastic machines, uprights, cast iron, jukeboxes, Violanos and other large musical machines. He was great at searching out and managing to buy very rare pieces.

I hadn't posted the photos but that is one of the catalogs I have as well!
63mini posted the photos!
They also had many ads in the COIN DROP International that was published in the 90's!
The foldout newspaper like foldout had many interesting articles!
