C.O.C.A. Times

in, and the merchandise was wonderful.
Lots of coin-ops, lots of advertising. We
found a Shipman Selecta Bar machine
for $250. (see photo). There was an Oak
Acorn next to it for $178. - couldn't fig-
ure that one out. We also found an Atlas
Master on a stand for $195. We found a
Northwestern '33 blue porcelain machine
w/barrel lock for $399., and an English
machine - I think its called an Alwin.
They also had several 1930's table top
pinball machines, and an American Eagle
trade stimulator, a Sparks trade stimulator and loads of
other common machines. Also, a few soda machines, gas
station pumps and couple of arcade pieces. I picked up a
1930's hot nut Radio Vendor machine for $195.
Someone had done a really nice job cleaning it up and
was in overall good condition. It was noon, and time to
head back home.
found an old slot machine priced at
$2200 (see photo). The store was
closing and we had to leave.
Saturday morning was cloudy and
cold, but at least it wasn't raining.
We got to the flea market at 8:00 am
as it was opening up. This flea mar-
ket was great - well worth the trip.
We found a lot of ~ ~ - - - ~
coin-op there. We
picked up a Sparks trade stimulator for
$200. (see photo), and for $20. I
picked up a 1940's Silver King hot nut
machine, complete but with a broken
globe. We found Fords, Oak Acorns,
Victor Model Vs, a Bell Vend Bulk
Vendor for $50. and a Sun Peanut
machine for $35. There was lots of nice advertising, gas
station advertising and overall, prices were fair. We were
carrying so much stuff, and my wallet was nearly empty,
so we left after 2 hours. We hadn't seen the entire flea
market and my wife was really upset. I promised her we
would return next year.
We stopped at a Big Boy for lunch. We hadn 't seen one
in years. And we made sure to gas up on our way home
as gas was about 30 cents per gallon cheaper than at
home. We did stop at a couple more shops on our way
home, but didn't find anything else. I'm not the type that
likes to repeat vacations, but I will definitely be back
next year - this 2 day trip was one of the best antique
trips I've been on in a long time.
Before we left we found out about a 3rd large antique
mall just 5 miles East. We decided to stop. I would have
to say this was the largest antique mall I have ever been
