A life long collectibles and antiques. This is a fantastic item that appears to be fully intact and functional. I have never tried to put any coins in it, But the lever does Work and appears to move all of the gears for a properly functioning machine. This item is in very good shape and is mounted to an old piece of wood where it used to hang on display. All of my items are loved and cared for and kept in the condition that I found them in.
