A unique early 20th century gambling device similar in nature to the various Liberty and Operator Bell three reel slot machines manufactured by several different companies of the time period. The distinctive feature of this machine that separates it from the others is the large single reel with a fixed, as opposed to variable, payout. The mechanism being encased with an elaborate nickel plated cast iron cabinet, the prospective gambler would choose a city by means of a lever at the left side of the reel window. After depositing a coin and advancing the coin thru the gooseneck, the handle would be pulled and the extra wide single reel revolves finally slowing to a stop with a pointer indicating a city. If by chance the player had selected that city, he would be a winner! A great example of a desirable and highly sought after machine! Overall in very fine original condition with no apologies being needed here. Two keys provided.
Condition: (Very Good).
Item Dimensions: 22-3/4"T x 13-1/2"W x 13"D.
