Where would the award card go on this machine?

The machine pictured below does not have an award card. Does anyone know where it would have been attached?

Thanks

I have had a few of these over the years, and, none had a reward card.

I've seen pictures of four or five others and none of them have reward cards. It hard to believe that it was originally made without reward cards.

If I new exactly what model it was it might help my searching for a picture. Anyone know the name.

There is one coming up for auction where they call it a Mills Gooseneck Jackpot. It doesn't have a reward card either. See the link below.

None of these particular revamp models had an award card area on the front casting, with the
exception of one Rock-Ola style, which had two small award cards on either side of the jackpot.
There was also one other revamp, that had a cast-in award on the two top corners of the front.
I have also never seen an award card & frame mounted on the top of any of these revamps.
I am not yet sure as to who did the revamp shown in this thread, but from some of the details,
it sort of rings-out a little bit of Rock-Ola Mfg. & Roberts Novelty, but both of them usually had
their name on the casting. Someone also had copied one of the common Rock-Ola designs in
every detail, except the area where the name is shown, was left blank. If a secondary revamper
had done this, it is a mystery to me. :?
All of these gooseneck revamps have been boggling my mind for so long now, that in the past
couple of years, I have been focusing more, on all the different fronts, that are found, mainly
on the Mills & Jennings "Operator Bell" style machines. Some revampers have also made changes
in some of the upper castings. Not just the very-top, but the coin-view area as well.
I have compiled a pretty good size photo file of both manufacturers to date. Hopefully some day,
more of this mystery will be solved. If anyone has an odd-ball model, that they would care to share
a photo of, and also any indication of a revampers decal on the case, or a sticker inside, I would
much appreciate your sending any info to: (slotdynasty@sbcglobal.net). "And the beat goes on". :D
Thank you, Bill

Slot Dynasty,

Thanks for the info. I took the machine apart and there is no name to be found. No stickers and nothing cast into the front casting (looked at outside and inside).

I guess for now it will remain a mystery.

I just came across the front casting in question and was able to make out the marking on the inside of the casting just below the jack pot its stamped "SERVICE SALES CO TOLEDO OHIO"
