Would someone please give me an idea of the value of the two machines? I have someone interested in the set but have no idea what I should ask. These machines have been in my parents basement for eons and have not been refurbished in any way.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

You can send me an PM and I will provide you information on your machines. Be careful, your machines look all original.

I really don't think they both look all original. The bottom War Eagle has silver reel strips, a high top handle which is wrong and very possibly is plated.

The machines have been in my parents basement for 50 years. I guess it is possible that something was done prior to that. I am not sure what reels are. Can you explain? Thanks! Cheryl

The 10c machine looks like a repo. - $800 - $1000 for the nickel----------- $500 - $700 for the 10c

Could you post a better picture of the dime machine? Also does the dime machine have a serial number? It is usually located on the front right side of the metal casting in the decorative vertical groove on the casting.

I think the 5c machine is definitely original - the 10c machine really appears to be a repo with plated castings, wrong handle and silver strips.
