Scarce Superior Trade Stimulator

Postby SLOT DYNASTY » Thu May 15, 2014 1:28 pm

OK you Forum members, looking for a key machine for your collection. This is one of them.
eBay Item #271482325959 - Superior "Cigarette Ball Gum" Deluxe (Tall Case). There are not many of these around.
Superior only made a short run of these, starting in Dec. 1935. This one is serial #648, from Jan. 1936. I only know
of a dozen or so. This is the Gumball version, but they also made a Mint Roll version, that is even harder to find.
This is one of the best examples I have seen in awhile, and appears to be all intact. This auction ends today, so
lets 'get on it'.

Yes, and luckily 'you-know-who' didn't get it. =D>
No telling what kind of 'Fantasy-Crap' it would have ended up as! :roll:

I thought so to, but he did have in his high bid of $1,222.22
You and I both know, that he is NO collector, so he must have had some fish spotted to hook.
Or, sure as hell, would make it's way to a VCA auction, all Bastardized with carnival colors
and phoney made-up strips & card. :^o

The serial # on that machine was CP648
Date of inspection was 1-15-36 / Key #5403 was inspected by Johnson.
This makes two of them that have been on ebay in over two months more or less.
Great machine but not much color as the small ones.
I hope who ever bought can find a gum ball door for it.
