Thoughts & Feedback on a Golden Nugget & a Liberty Owl

Good evening all,

New member & first post here. I am hoping for some feedback on a couple of slot machines that were left to me about 10 years back. I have been thinking about putting them up for sale, but don’t know a lot about them and want to ensure they I represent/advertise them correctly if I do decide to sell. At a minimum, I figure I will at least collect some additional info or direction on additional resources to learn more.

These two do seem to have at least some good signs, from what I have read. But I also know that the quality of reproductions Varys wildly, so I may be missing out some of the keys. Please let me know your thoughts or if there are other photos needed. I look forward to learning more about these cool machines!

I will submit a reply with photos of the Liberty owl next, First up is the Golden Nugget. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

No way I'm any expert on these matters, but I suspect your Golden Nugget is a conversion rather than a reproduction per se... I'm guessing it was originally a Black Cherry. I am very certain that it is not a "real" Golden Nugget: if you search this site, you'll find plenty of info posted by our host on how to tell the difference. For sure, others on this forum can provide better information than I can about that and your other nice-looking restored slot, but I didn't want to leave you twisting without any responses at all. Welcome to the forum! 8)

Welcome to the forum. The only thing I have to add is on the gooseneck machine. It's not called an owl the actual name is Mills Operators Bell. Both machines look nice. Enjoy them !!
