Perhaps one of the most visually attractive of all the Rol-a-Tops with the cornucopia cascading a bevy of different fruits and vegetables with the bird of paradise at the bottom of the horn of plenty. This was a most popular and heavily used machine in France in the 1930s-40s as was this machine. This particular unit features gold award, a vendor front, as well as skill stop option. Machine is in good, operational condition, but is in need of some minor lubrication. And as was typical, when the French utilized these machines, the coin Rol-a-top section has been disengaged and a straight coin drop detection system has been utilized. An older restoration to both the castings and the wood. Nice clean mechanism and still retaining its original Watling cash box. SIZE: 15″ w 15″ d x 26″ h. CONDITION: As described above along with a replaced back door. 1086-7 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 2196

Watling Slot Machine Value Coin

SOLD! This original Watling Rol-a-Tor which was an early manufactured machine for a brief period in the Watling line of Slot machines. Shortly after the Rol-a-Tor line was on production was changed to Rol-a-Top due to patent infringement over the name from a law suit by Norge Rollator Refrigerator Company. So few Watling Rol-a-tors were produced especially the quarter machines. The 25 cent Rol – A-Tor machine is a very rare machine compared to the Rol- a-tops with only a few quarter machines ever manufactured. The Rol a tor were made only with “Golden Token awards “ feature and mint vendors. In the 1930’s who would pay 25 cent for a roll of lifesavers. No one wanted to pay a quarters for a nickel pack of life savers.
Soon Watling Stopped the production of quarters machines. I have only seen one other 25 cent RolATor slot machine for sale with an ugly paint job and are asking $8900. My machine is all original condition, has Original paint, original Watling lock and key, original fortune reel strips, token award feature, original mint vendor locks with key, a nice rare machine for your collection. This Machine in good working order. The mint vendors have plates with lock and key and does not vend mints at the moment. I have never seen a RolATor quarter machines come up for sale before. No. 0036
