i just bought this guy at a local thrift store, but i have no clue anything about it. there's no manufacturer name on it. only thing on the bottom is a "made in taiwan" sticker and another sticker that's been heavily scratched up. top line is "code no. (can't read the actual number)" and bottom "lot no. 647 3060-03". the base is cast iron with "taiwan 555" stamped on it. the outside of it seems to be either aluminum or some other type of lightweight metal. inside is mostly plastic. it takes quarters, nickels and pennies. any information would be great.
