Dave: Royal Bell only made Repro "3 Jacks" in 10c play, as shown on the paper taped inside the door on this one.
They did them in 10c, so that you would know their repro from an original, and also advertised they were repro.
Most of their repros had a metal plate nailed to the inside center floor, with their name, and a serial number. If
someone removed the plate, to try and pass it off as original, you would usually still see the 4 small holes.
No originals were ever 10c play. All were either 1c or 5c. Royal Bell never made any repro "Five Jacks" machines.
There were two other people that made repro "3 Jacks" and "Five Jacks", in 1c & 5c play. Not sure if they are
still building them. Bill
