For those of you who may be wondering;
it's just a Golden Falls with the Fishmouth coin slot.

Could be an export model. If so, waaaaay too much for that.

I had a really nice $.50 Golden Falls that I bought up in Helena MT many years ago. It also had a fish mouth coin slot and I know for certain that it was not an export model.

When I bought the machine it still had old $.50 pieces in it. :D The people had other machines (Black Cherries) that I also bought but the Golden Falls was in incredible condition.

Honestly! #-o Where do some people get their information from?

Like so many folk say their Mills machines are 1910 coz of the date on the reel strips.

The fishmouth coin entry was a 1946 development first produced (I believe) on a Black Cherry....

I thought they made a 50 cent Mills Castle Front in the 1930's

Well,,,,,, erm,,,,yeah,, err but obviously I meant apart from that,, and a Bursting Cherry,, and a Roman Head,,,,,ohh-err :oops: :oops: Mouth before brain engaged. And I only recently sold my 50c Bursting Cherry too,
Nice one oldslotman =D>

edit: However, is there a possibility that pre-1946 Mills machines were upped to 50c play post 1946? That was my point..
Hopefully someone will be along shortly to clarify> Interesting tho' :D

I did not mention this to the seller, but the Golden Falls was introduced in April 1946;
"Drenched with beauty! Flooded with mechanical improvements..... The eye-appeal is terrific, the player appeal assured. Be the first to operate Mills Golden Falls."

Yeah, that is quite possible. There was a lot of machines modified after the war.
