This auction is on a really great old 1 cent or penny Jennings Four Star Hunting Chief slot machine. I just purchased it from a very old Kansas City estate. It has its origional finish, a few small white paint marks on the black part near the top and there are some scratches on the plate to the right of the 3 wheels. The exterior of this machine has a very nice origional look and condition. My pictures should support the very good condition of this machine. It isn't working and the inside of the back door has some diagrams to be used to aid you in working on the machine. I spent a lot of time looking in the house it came from for the back top cover and it wasn't found. Both keys work, the bottom key to open the door so the coin collector can be gotten and the other key to the back plate. After looking for information on the internet it appears the machine was made in 1937 or it is a 1937 model. The paper on the back cover has "F. 1806 5M 6-36" which makes me think t was actually made in June of 1936. I was told by a friend that has more slot machine knowledge then me that the 1 cent Jennings Four Star Hunting Chief machine in such nice original condition was truely a rare find. Buyer pays actual cost of packing, shipping and insurance in the USA not to goover $135.00. Please feel free to ask questions. I'm listing it with a minimum bid of $499.99 and NO RESERVE. Please buy in "AS-IS" condition.
