Here's a 1949 Chicago Coin "Champion" pin. |
I don't think tempered glass was being used on pins back then. |

Here are a couple of Holly crane machines which are probably from the 40's. |
Here's a better look at the inside of one of these. Looks like somebody got a little creative with some contact paper, but fortunately it can be removed. |

I own a smaller version of this vending machine. |
|
Never heard of this "W.C. Frank" machine. I'm guessing it's some kind of talking puppet game like "Peppy The Clown." |
On the left, one of my favorite Chicago Coin pins. On the far right, another coin-op oddity I've never seen before. It's called "Idea Ball." |

According to "Arcade-Museum," "Idea Ball" was produced by Industrial Design Electronic Associates, Inc. in 1986. They also produced "Century Dartes" in 1983. |

I took this pic as the game was getting ready to come off the seller's truck. There's a round button for each line: 1-4, and the buttons to the left read "change frame" and "collect score." |
Back inside the show, here's that working "Jigsaw" pin. |
|
Collect numbered spots on the playfield... |
...in order to light up sections of the backglass. |
|
This game, as you can see, was in great cosmetic shape. |
