I have observed two different mechanisms Caille produced for the silver cup. The first model had individual
slides across the front of the mechanism, where as the second model only had one set of slides with two pay tubes
to make all the payouts. This payout system also resembles the same one used on the later Caille Aristocrat. Some-
where after serial #340 this machine must have been a little loose on the 25 cent green payout as it was changed to
20 cents where it remained until the end of production. Another interesting change was the pay cup which started
out in the center only to be moved to the right side sometime after serial #640 but then to return sometime after
#881. This may have been a bad decision at the factory since the coins had to make a hard right tum out of the pay
slides to enter into the pay cup below. I even had one collector who has the version with the pay cup on the right
tell me he has had the coins jamb up in that area before. They were only produced in a nickel play version and the
machines I have been able to track down bear the serial numbers 34,129,340, 593,614,639, 640,690, 712, 746,
752, 881 & 4892.

The other cast iron beauty and the rarer of the two is
called the Caille Loving Cup. This machine has the same
cabinet design as the Silver Cup with the lady holding up
a trophy except for the name change on the front and a
single coin head on the top. This machine only required
a single coin entry since the payoff was simply made by
matching up two of the same fruit symbols in the center
to win. Just like a 3 reel slot except you are matching 2
symbols instead of three. Different fruit had different pay-
outs, j ust like any other slot with the highest pay being 20
for matching 2 Silver Cup symbols. This machine also
had a 4 way payout instead of the 5 way on the Silver Cup.
The fruit symbols used on the Loving Cup are identical to
those used on Caille's tin litho fruit strips for the operator
bell. The 3 loving cups that have surfaced over the years
are serial numbers 153, 156, & 161 and all 3 have gum
venders.
I am only aware of the three Loving Cup's that have
turned up over the years and two of them were discovered
in Albuquerque, New Mexico. An old bar owner in Raton
purchased them new and had used them very little if at
all. They were still in their original wooden crates when found. They were also full of original Silver Cup tokens
and the gum venders contained gum from the True Blue Gum Company in Lansing, Michigan. That had to be one
of the top five most amazing coin op finds I have ever heard of and a great motivation to keep all ofus searching
for these amazing machines. I want to thank everyone who shared their serial number information with me as it
always helps to learn a little more history on these incredible machines. If you have any serial numbers or infor-
mation on these early machines you would want to share please contact me at Johnny@kccoinop.com. Thanks.
