I bought this slot machine at a auction back in 1979, it has solid oak cabinet and weights a ton. the pull handle is on the front and you pull from left to right. the lollypop stand to the right of the slot machine is a beer analyzer. It has different shades of glass on the wheel.The beer tray is from the Port Townsend Brewing Co.

Thanks Trenchartman
luv the slot machine, but facinated by the beer analyzer.
what did it analyze? color? sp. gravity, alcoho; content?
senor_trunk, the analyzer was for color.
AR8Jason, The tray says: Port Townsend Brewing Company Port Townsend Wash. The brewery company operated from 1905 until 1916 when prohibition started in Washington State.
Port Townsend Brewing Co?! Cool! Who knew there was a tray?!
Could I trouble you for a picture of it? Please send it to syrocokid@gmail.com
Thanks!
