This first draft roughly reflects what the internet currently thinks, but I think the internet is wrong, because it's essentially just referencing itself. It would be better to find material that actually came out between the 1880s and 1960s. -Black Squirrel (talk) 15:46, 14 December 2018 (CST)

Automatic Pleasures - The History of the Coin Machine
Wonderful book by Nicholas Costa ... Yep... this ad was also published in the British newspaper World's Fair in June 1958, so ... we are fine :) ---Asagoth (talk) 19:02, 15 May 2022 (EDT)
