We are owners of multiple rather large 300 to 500 unit & larger storage rental unit facilities in several states.  Unfortunately on occasion people don't pay their rent and abandon their processions.   By law we have to make a concerted effort to find them & we do try but after several months we simply hall away the contents to the dump, give it to Salvation Army, or if something appears to have value, we list it on eBay.  We are in the storage facility rental business wanting to get the unit back up for rent and not antique dealers so our knowledge isn't all that much.  We describe what we see but please don't ask us for more like age, how it was made or of what made from, country of origin, or if good to eat.   All our sales on eBay go to our favorite charity that helps battered and abused women after eBay takes their 20% + commission & fees.  We keep none of it.  And no, we don't have live sight unseen auctions like on TV.  If you buy into that we have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn or a time share apartment on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border.  Lovely apartment above a great deli with topless waitresses. 


  We found 2 small boxes full of back door instruction sheets for the Mills, Caille, Watling, Jennings, & Pace antique slot machines.  Probably not worth “an arm & a leg” but if you are a collector restoring a machine you own back to the way it was when it left the factory years ago, perhaps this will be something you desire. Some of the instruction sheets we found were destroyed by rats or mice but other remain perfect.  Also, heat & time can do odd things to paper & some of these just crumble into pieces when handled & others are fine with no issues.  Obviously, we will not send an unusable sheet. Shipping is a little problematic as the post office want $14 & change in a manila envelope with stiff cardboard or foam sheet backing and we can do that for if you want to pay that amount.  But an old timer we have befriended locally & helps us define things says that if we will fold this lightly without creases & send in an envelope, fold marks if any can be eliminated. He said that when it arrives if you put it on a table with a slightly damp cloth on top of it and heat with clothes iron or heat gun, the creases if any will disappear.  And when glued to the back door, creases or folds also disappear. If you have one of these antique slot machines missing this or the one you have is in poor condition, this is what you need at a very reasonable price.
