Take a close look at this one! Manufactured by Reliance Novelty Co. in 1896 this extremely rare version of Reliance's cast iron poker machine is one you never see. Called "The Standard", as noted on the ornate side castings, this authentic example has an original unique marquee, award card, back door and poker cards. The "Standard" is 2" taller than the Reliance poker machines you see more often, and its likely to be the lone example to have surfaced to date. Retaining a weathered aged look with original nickel plating, this trade stimulator is worthy of the most advanced gambling collection. No apologies. Condition is original, with venerated patina, faded cards, and years of graceful aging. Works great and with keys.
Condition: (Very Good).
Item Dimensions: 13 - 1/2" x 9 - 3/4" x 17".
