Wanted: Original watermelon octagon shaped tokens for .25 hi

Postby mrolucky » Mon Apr 18, 2005 10:04 pm

I am looking for the token awards that were made specifically for the watermelon .25 hightop. They should have the following number engraved on them..G -9032 and they will be octagon in shape

I could be mistaken but I believe the tokens are not unique to the Mellon Bell. I think they are the same octagon shaped tokens used in Roman Heads and other Mills machines.

mrolucky,

One more thing about your tokens. I doubt if you can find ones with that number. Gold award tokens were either serialized to the factory machine serial number or just randomly numbered consecutively like 9031, 9032, 9033, etc. This was to keep someone from walking in with a token he found , bought or stole and saying he just hit the gold award. If it didn't belong to that machine, no money. To have a machine with original matching is rare. Dice machines seem to have to survived more than other machines with gold award tokens intact.
