Ebay Item

Postby cpdretired » Wed Aug 20, 2008 9:45 am

Need help to identify this machine on eBay. I want to enter it in my Trade Stimulator price guide when the auction is over.

We know that it is from the Bryant Pattern & Novelty Co. Refer to page 47 in Bueschel's Vintage Trade Stimulator & Counter Games book.

It appears to be the Zodiac but the face place around the colored wheel is different.

Check the same book, page 41. It doesn't explicitly say that Bryant made this model, but it mentions the transition from Bryant to Caille. Looks exactly like a Wasp, and I wonder if the "crack" mentioned has anything to do with the replaceable coin head (as you probably already read, it came with 2 coin heads, a single-coin and a 5-coin).

The Wasp is on page 48. Possibly Caille used Bryant's molds to cast their version.
