Dear Editor:
I have a working condition collar-button vending machine. It
stands lO1/^" high and 4" sides (glass). It has six columns to hold
collar buttons with six separate dime slots at the top. It is
marked Zeno Button Co., Indianapolis, IN, PAT Dec 3-1907,
Feb. 18-1908. I would appreciate any info on its value. Thank
you.

spun over a stationary disc.
While Coin Slot Guide No. 18 covers all the Schall, Paupa &
Hochriem, Mills and Cowper color wheel counter machines, it
doesn't cover this color dial set model. But the interior
mechanism stuff is much the same, so it should help you in
restoring this machine. Oh, the Exhibit Silver Bells. Great
machine, Exhibit brought it out at the coin machine show in
January 1937, and then it literally disappeared. It's a little
known console. Great stuff, and thanks for the serials.

Dear Coin Slot:
I have enclosed some pictures of the machines I own. The
Mills 25c C.O.K. machine has been completely restored,
including interior mechanism, chroming of exterior parts, and
refinishing of the case. The other two machines, which I am in

the process of refurbishing are a Mills 5c C.O.K. machine and a
Chrome QT. The serial numbers of each follows:
25c
5c
100,499
86,679
Mills.C.O.K.
Mills.C.O.K.
5c
22,769

Both Mills.C.O.K. machines are identical in terms of dates
(1776-1924), aluminum fronts and so forth. The 25c machine
has only one fault: the award card says "PlayNickels Only", yet
it is a quarter machine. Can this be corrected? If so, how?
6. When do you expect a book on machine serial numbers to be
published?
7. What year do you estimate, each of these machines was built?
Appreciate your answering as many of the above questions as
you can.
Sincerely,
Daniel M. Yeaton
The 5c Mills C.O.K. machine differs in the following areas:
there are holes drilled on the right side (handle side) indicating
there may have been a "side vendor" at one time; and there is a
payoff wheel (O.K. feature) which shows the coin payoff
through a "window" in the front of the machine.
For both of these machines I have ordered.Coin Slot Guide
#24.
With respect to the Chrome QT machine, I have the following
questions:
1. There is a red and yellow lever, as part of the mechanism.
What do these operate?
2. The "Jackpot" is divided, so that each side alternates as
payoff, or so it appears. However, my machine must be
missing a dividing bar which would separate the coins, from
each side. It appears that there are holes, so that a dividing

Dear Dan:
all; it's the Mills 1924 OPERA TOR BELL as shown by your
photos. The differences between the OPERA TOR BELL and
the C. O. K. are self evident when you take a good look at them.
The OPERA TOR BELL is a straight Bell, for gambling only.
The C. O. K. has a side vender (or will have the holesfor one) and
has the O. K. feature, a way of getting an extra coin out of a
player to get paidfor the winner they hit on the first play. That
way the player always "knew what they'd get", i.e. therefore no
gambling.

4. Where can I obtain a side vendor for the 5c machine?
5. What exactly is the O.K. feature? What purpose did it serve?
