A large group of Good For 5 Cent Tokens, mostly for Slot Machines, including Chas Fey Victory Bell Slot Tokens. Charles Fey is the man who invented slot machines in 1894 after opening a machine maintenance and repair workshop in San Francisco. His first mechanical slot remains his most famous to this day, the Liberty Bell. Others tokens included in this lot include OK Vending tokens, Royal Novelty tokens, The Club, Good For 5 Cent tokens such as Cigars, Mints, Candy, and others. This is a great selection of about 400 Vintage tokens, all with center cut out, and mostly made of brass. Also in this lot are two of Marshall Fey's great reference works: Slot Machines A Pictorial History of the First 100 Years, Third Edition, 1984 and Slot Machines An Illustrated History of America's Most Popular Coin-Operated Gaming Device First Edition, 1983. Marshall Fey was the grandson of Charles Fey and considered an expert on gaming machines and collectibles. He passed away in 2024. Both publications are large format, coffee table reference works and both were autographed by the author on the date of publication on the cover page. One includes a personal note to Sal Falcone, a friend to Marshall Fey. This is a great lot for gaming collectors or token collectors out of the Sal Falcone Collection. Large hoards like this are uncommon.
