    My Curb Company. first

    While the selection you come across at curb Co. can be endless, this was certainly a first for me....













    This is a 1930 Mills Vest Pocket 5 cent slot machine. It seems to be the smallest actual slot machine made. It was designed to look like the old table top radios.

    It would be nice if it had a whole lot of 1930 nickels inside. Nice find

    It has some nickels in it but I haven't had a chance to make it to a locksmith. I don't want to drill the lock because I think it will lower the value.
