This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/14/2016
A nice, rare all original condition Mills Liberty Bell. This particular example has the seldom found Hassman coin head, all original castings and the original card symbols on the reels as well as original marquee paper. The mechanism has the early round pin fingers, bell striker upon winning payout, original early styled Yale locks, and still retains some original internal paper on the back door. The nickel plating overall is good with some slight pitting to castings mostly by the rear door behind the marquee. The original marquee, as was so often done by operators, was removed from the top castings and screwed to the front casting, this was usually done because of the frailty of the marquee. Subsequently the marquee has been restored to its original location. The machine has nice play action and is a great example of Mills first three reel slot machine. Circa 1907.
Condition: (Very Good).
Item Dimensions: 14-1/2" x 14" x 24"
