information:  This stamper was introduced in 1923, featuring a medal disk rather than a metal strip like its predecessors (see Roover's Machine).  This type of metal stamper continues to be popular even in today's arcades, which feature the same type of medal disk.  Be sure to view the picture page to see the medal style token this machine stamped on to.
