Dear Editor,
Several years ago at the Fun Fair Amusement Machine Show
in Los Angeles, we purchased Richard Bueschel's publication
"An Illustrated Price Guide to the 100 Most Collectible Trade
Stimulators." In it was listed "The Trader" made by Mills in
1904. We're interested in getting current information about the
machine — like how many are known to exist and a current price
guide.
If you could help us with this information, we would greatly
appreciate it, or if you could direct us to another source.
Thank you,
Gloria Kolesar
Dear Gloria,
The machine you mention is the Royal Novelty Company
