Daval Free-Play 5¢ Trade Stimulator (1940s) Cigarette Fully Restored

Daval FREE-PLAY Trade Stimulator, 1946. This trade stimulator is a 5-cent machine made by the Daval Manufacturing Company. It has 3-reels that offer the winner the prize of free plays. The free plays are accumulated and tallied on a special wheel. This wheel is on the front left of the machine with a glass view to see the actual number of free plays won or remaining. It is based on the free-play awards of a pinball game, in which the wins are racked up in a counter to be played or paid (they called it “canceled”) off by the merchant. A side viewing window shows the last coin played so people do not use slugs. 

There is a push button on the back door called the scavenger button to release bent/foreign coins or last coin played. The back of the door also has a push button to clear the rewards reel and slide cover to load gumballs. This machine has a label inside the back door with instructions on play, cleaning the clock mechanism, coin chute scavenger button, oiling, free-play take-off and how to operate gum vendor. You can receive from 3 to 30 free plays from any of the “Good Luck” combinations on the front of the machine; up to 70 free plays can be accumulated. Gumballs are awarded on winning combinations. Measures 10" wide by 12.5" tall by 8.5" deep
