Keep up the good work.

Dear Tony,
Nice machine, and thanks for the photos. We rarely see the
backs ofmachines, and here you show us the detailed castings
at the bottom of the Industry Novelty A UTOMA TIC COUN
TER VENDER
Industry Novelty Company (later O.D. Jennings Company)
started out in 1906 using the Industry Novelty name. Thefact
that your machine has a reward card for Diamond J Mints
means that this is the mint vending version, circa 1920 or so.
But that really makes the 0116 and 3360 serials a bit strange.
The only conclusion we can draw is that these aren't maker*s
serials (both 0116 and 3360 would still be cast-iron "Iron
Case" cabinet machines with iron feet) and are probably
operator numbers. Another possibility is that the inside 3360
serial is only part ofthe number, and should really be 13,360
(circa 1918, so probably not) or 23,360 (circa 1923, which is
just about right).
The best description ofthis, or similar machines, inprint is in
the new revised 1981 edition of "An Illustrated Price Guide to
the 100 Most Collectible Slot Machines". As a matter of
interest, the value is rated somewhere between $1,400 and
punching machines, scales and electric pianos." The question is
$2,500 depending on the amount ofmintpaper and restoration
if 0116 is their number or that of the manufacturer. Any help
work.
from you, Dick Bueschel or your readers will be greatly
appreciated
Glad you liked our October issue. You'll love what's coming

Your October issue was the best yet! The color and expanded
