1933-36 MILLS CASTLE FRONT NICKEL SLOT MACHINE CABINET & PARTS FOR RESTORATION

THIS IS A 1933-36 MILLS SLOT MACHINE FRESH OUT OF THE BASEMENT OF AN OLD WASHINGTON DC AREA CORNER STORE / LOCAL BAR THAT CLOSED DECADES AGO. IT'S A 1933-36 MILLS 5 CENT SLOT MACHINE (SER# 393759). I BELIEVE THIS ONE IS CALLED THE CASTLE FRONT. THE CABINET FRONT IS CAST METAL WITH SOME ORIGINAL PAINT REMAINS. IT'S DARK BLUE, RED AND LIME GREEN. THE CABINET SIDES, BASE AND INTERIOR ARE WOOD.

I FOUND THE MACHINE STORED UNDER THE BASEMENT STORE ROOM STEPS CAKED IN DUST. THE BUILDING WAS A BAR THAT CLOSED DECADES AGO. I WAS ADVISED THE MACHINE WAS TUCKED AWAY DOWN THERE MANY YEARS BEFORE THE BAR EVEN CLOSED.

WHAT WAS GIVEN TO ME WAS THE CABINET AND SOME MECHANISM PARTS INSIDE. PLEASE SEE ALL PHOTOS BELOW FOR GOOD CLEAR PHOTOS OF THE OUTSIDE / INSIDE OF THE CABINET AND THE PARTS FOUND LAYING IN THE CABINET. THE CABINET STANDS ABOUT A LITTLE UNDER 25 TALL. THE BASE PLATE MEASURES APPROX.

THE CABINET IS NOT FALLING APART. IT'S STILL VERY TIGHT. THE CAST METAL FRONT IS NOT CRACKED, WARPED UP, BENT, DENTED OR CHOPPED UP. THE WOOD SIDES, BASE AND INTERIOR PARTS ARE ALL ORIGINAL.

NOTHING LOOKS LIKE A MODERN REPLACEMENT OR CHOPPED UP. THE MACHINE PARTS FOUND INSIDE ARE NOT RUSTED OUT, CRUSHED, BENT UP, SEIZED UP, ETC.. I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THEY DO, BUT THE MECHANISM PARTS STILL MOVE AND FUNCTION. I ALSO FOUND A SPRING ASSEMBLY INSIDE THAT'S INCLUDED - SEE PHOTOS. THE MACHINE IS OBVIOUSLY VERY DUSTY AND SOILED UP FROM AGE & BASEMENT STORAGE.

YOU ARE SEEING THE CABINET & PARTS FRESH OUT OF THE BASEMENT STORAGE. I HAVE NOT POLISHED UP OR TAMPERED WITH ANYTHING. IT IS NOT BEING OFFERED AS A MODERN CERTIFIED WORKING SLOT MACHINE FOR LEGAL MONETARY GAMBLING USE. FOR IT'S BEING OFFERED DIRECTLY FROM THE ESTATE & AS PICTURED HERE. ALL ITEMS I OFFER ARE FROM NUMEROUS EAST COAST ESTATES (MOSTLY FROM MARYLAND, WASHINGTON DC, VIRGINIA, NEW JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA).

I HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL ESTATE PERSONAL PROPERTY CONSIGNMENT & LIQUIDATION LLC FOR OVER 13 YEARS. YOU ARE SEEING ITEMS RIGHT OUT OF THE ESTATES. I DO NOT TAMPER WITH ITEMS, POLISH UP ITEMS OR ALTER THEM IN ANY WAY.

I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I SEE. ALL ITEMS ARE BEING OFFERED AS FINAL SALES FROM ESTATE LIQUIDATION WITH ALL WEAR OF A USED VINTAGE ITEM. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM MINT IF I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IT'S IN MINT CONDITION.

I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM RARE OR SCARCE IF I TRULY BELIEVE IT TO BE SO. THE ITEMS YOU SEE HERE ARE NOT BEING OFFERED LOCALLY AT THE SAME TIME. IF A VALUABLE ITEM HAPPENS TO GO SUPER CHEAP, YOU GET IT CHEAP. MY AUCTIONS ARE STRAIGHT FORWARD. MY DESCRIPTIONS ARE CLEARLY WRITTEN & PLAIN TO UNDERSTAND.

ALSO, I TO TAKE NUMEROUS EXCELLENT CLEAR CLOSE-UP PHOTOS OF THE ITEMS. I USE PLAIN BACKGROUNDS AND SIMPLE PLAIN FONTS. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FLUFFY BORDERS, FANCY BACKGROUNDS, OVERBLOWN HYPE WORDING OR CONFUSING LETTERING FONTS TO PROMOTE PHONY HYPE IN ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ITEM APPEAR MORE SPECTACULAR THAN IT REALLY IS.

COL LECTORS PLEASE DO NOT WORRY. THE ESTATES USUALLY PREFER STRAIGHT AUCTIONS TO FOLLOW THROUGH. I HOPE ALL OF MY ITEMS WILL GO TO PEOPLE WHO WILL ENJOY THEM. I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT A RETURN AND/OR TAKE CARE OF A PROBLEM IF I DO MAKE A GROSS ERROR IN DESCRIPTION. IF I MADE NO GROSS ERRORS, THE ITEM IS ESTATE FINAL SALE.

THIS IS MERELY DUE TO THE ITEMS BEING ANTIQUES / VINTAGE / PRE-OWNED. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE THE ITEM ENDS. I TEST ALL WIND UP TYPE ITEMS & WATCHES AS BEST AS POSSIBLE BEFORE LISTING THEM, AND I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I SEE. HOWEVER, I HAVE NO WAY TO PREDICT HOW LONG A VINTAGE/ ANTIQUE / PRE-OWNED MECHANICAL ITEM OR WATCH WILL CONTINUE TO WORK. PLEASE NOTE: MANY OF MY ITEMS COME FROM BEING STORED IN OLD ESTATES FOR MANY YEARS.

I HAVE NO IDE WHAT SMELLS "OLD" TO SOMEONE, OR WHAT SMELLS LIKE TOBACCO SMOKE TO SOMEONE. JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY SMOKED BACK THEN. SOME OF MY ITEMS SAT FOR DECADES IN OLD ESTATE HOMES WHERE THERE WAS PROBABLY TOBACCO SMOKING GOING ON AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. THIS WILL COST A GOOD BIT MORE THAN NORMAL UPS GROUND IN THE LOWER 48 STATES. I GENERALLY CANNOT ALLOW PICK-UPS DUE TO BUSY BUSINESS SCHEDULING.
