While there are a lot of Daval TS out there, this one is a little more unique.
The Marvel has the gumball window and gives one ball out to the winner, as well as a pack of smokes! Back in the day of course. I have always wanted a Trade Stimulator. My wife is the best! This was used in bars, pool halls and taverns. Usually sat on the counter so when patrons came in, they could drop a coin in and hope to win. It was a way of stimulating trade, get it? Trade Stimulators. I have already hit 3 in a row once tonight, 3 Camels! Also when you win, it gives you a token that says good for 1 pack. The seller of this machine, cleaned it for me and it runs like new. Your smoke options were all the older brands, Camel, Old Gold, Lucky Strike, Raleigh, Chesterfield, Spuds and PallMall. A "REEL" fun machine I think!
Very neat!
Thanks BELLIN and ay!
Thanks kerry!

LOL, thanks Tommy! You been out today pickin?
Thanks EJW and officialfuel!
Not been out this weekend, the close-out antique shop didn't yield any new results last week, so just doing some ebay scanning.
Cool, I worked all day today but will be doin that same thing tomorrow I guess.
I did just score 3 Coke signs at an auction this week though. You won't believe it when you see them. I bought a 1939 54"x 18" Vertical Pause sign, with the bottle in the yellow sun, self framed design. The other 2 are a 50s red arrow design and a 50s 6 pack but not the 6 pack you think. Wish I had pics but I don't yet.
Thank you Scott!!
SWEET!!!! I'll be looking for them!
There's a few on ebay but you really have to know what to look for. You want it working, with the original key! So you can open it up and clean or restore the stimulator if needed. Sometimes all you need to do is blow some compressed air in it. Other times you may have to get into deeper cleaning and that requires a few more tools. Without that original key, you'll just have a big paper weight!
Thank you lisa and Knivesnsuch!
I've already hit the jackpot 4 times. 1 triple Lucky Strike, 1 triple Camel and a couple hits on the Old Gold!
Thank you Designer!
