I have had this machine all my life. It was part of my dad’s collection and was left to me. It is all original and in great working order.
I do not know anything about it. What year / decade it is from, commonality or rarity, or how to find the serial number.

I did find a number stamped into the wood base but I doubt that is the S/N.

I’m not looking to sell it (any place I try to learn about it wants to know if I’ll sell it). But I would like to know what I have here. All of his others were poinsettias, Pace, or best pockets. This one was on its own with no like machines of different currencies.

Hopefully I can post pics correctly.

Thank you for any insight you can provide!

I think the number on the base says 563861.

Thanks again!

Yes that is the Sn in the wood but could als be stamped in the case somewhere. I have a similar machine in a .50 denomination.

Thanks for the reply. Do you have any idea what year it may be or where I could find that information?

coinopregistry.com can give you an approximate time frame for your Mills slot. It looks like it was produced in late 1948 or 1949 at a time when Mills was producing large numbers of High Top slots.
