A beautifully detailed turn of the 20th century cast-iron trade stimulator featuring nautical scenes, not only on the front castings but the right and left side castings as well. The original castings, handsomely re-plated with aged nickel, are unique to this machine and were never utilized on any other Mills machine, unlike the Elk castings that were used, in some part, on several other Mills cast-iron trade stimulators. This machine has a six-way coin head and one reel with images of spades, hearts, clubs, diamonds, an anchor, and a sailor. Original reel strip, award cards and marquee. Winnings from this machine were paid out in trade checks from 10¢ up to $2. Tokens are dispensed to a small pocket on right rear casting. Working and includes one key.
Condition: (Restored).
Item Dimensions: 15 - 1/2" x 12" x 11 - 1/2".
