1948 Mills Golden Nugget

[caminonut]

Hello,
I see where there is a lot of the so called Antique Slot Machines like the 1948 Mills Golden Nugget for sale all over the net...
Can anyone tell me who is making all of them and why All of the ones I have seen are all 1948

I have found some pictures of the real ones and it looks like they did not make very many of them, From what I can tell if you were lucky enough to find a real one for sale it could be close to 10 grand...

Thanks for any input...

I have seen original ones sell for between $3K and $4K.

Royal Bell in Denver is one company that is making them.

Why they are making them????? As my Twilight Pinball machine says when I purchase an extra ball for 1 credit GREEEEEEEED
