DAVAL TALLY GUM TRADE STIMULATOR/COUNTER GAME
I recently purchased this slot machine vendor that apparently won you a gumball. What is it and how much is it worth. The back is missing. You have a 1930's Trade Simulator/Counter Game made by The Daval Manufacturing Co out of Chicago. Trade Stimulators/Counter Games were "soft-core" chance machines found in stores. They were not physical pay-out machines and thus merchants typically would not run afoul of the law by using them. The "prizes" won were typically small (such as a gumball) if you played. So, you got value for your play. The same machine you have (in red) with some missing parts sold for $250 at live auction. Other colored versions of the Daval Tally Stimulator in complete condition have sold for $425 at live auction with the occasional one hitting the high hundreds.
