a 21 slot machine ??

[zbiker]

hi guys
i just ran onto a neat little machine that appears to have been made about the thirtys. it sort of resembles the bones machine in the pic at the top of the page but has 5 windows on the front and is made of wood. the far left window tells you what you must beat as far as the card count goes and the other four windows give you your card denominations. im unsure if it is a nickle or quarter or what.......the plate around the windows where the reels are is orange as well as the " 21 twenty one plate " that is on the face.
any ideas who made this machine ???, ive only seen pics of it so far and it is in really poor shape, but might make a good winter project if got for the right price

thanks in advance

Hello,
I think your machine is a trade stimulator made by DAVAL : The twenty one
made in the 30'S.

Hi Guys... New to the group and new to collecting Trade Stimulators...
I live in The UK and have recently purchased the machine above... A Twenty-One..

The one I have has been converted to English Penny and is missing its gumball vendor and the frame at the front that holds the instructions...

Does anyone have either the frame or the gumball vendor for sale???

If so could you plse e-mail me b11rdman@talktalk.net

Thank you kindly

Dave

hi dave
here's the one i ran into, im thinking the price is high but he may except an offer, especially since it's a "parts machine " the way it sets now and i think its been for sale quite a while now

Hello Buck

thanks for the reply... I'll e-mail him to see if he wants to part the machine out otherwise it really wouldn't be worth my while... The cost of postage as well would make it a very expensive parts machine...

Thanks for thinking of me...

Merry Xmas
