Home Made Creation?

[63mini]

I purchased a few machines from an older lady the other day. When I was there, she asked me about the machine shown in the attached picture and asked a value of it. I told her it looks like a homemade creation (fairly nicely done) I believe someone used a Jennings baseball as a base donor machine . Unfortunately, the key with the machine did not open the lower door to access the mech. I told her she should ask around $300-400 dollars for it? Does that seem reasonable?

That is a rare machine and if working good probably worth around $1000 dollars or so

That is a Jennings Electro Vender not often seen but not a lot of value, the last one sold at auction for $600.00 in 2019 on the low end one sold for $2500 in 2017 on the high end, the one you have pictured is missing the base, I only seen them with the base,

JENNINGS ELECTRO VENDER AMONG THE FIRST ELECTRIFIED SLOT MACHINES. STANDS BEEN REMOVED AND SOMEONE PUT THAT BOX ON THE FRONT FOR WHATEVER REASON ??? NOT ORIGINAL.

Thanks for the replies! I now have a direction to give her as she is just trying to deal with the estate of her 96-year-old father and is a bit overwhelmed. The box on the front is an add-on and was from another Jennings as there is a ODJ tag on it. Also, I guess I learned something as I have never personal seen one of these.
