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 replated with a black copper oxide finish, 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 6-way coin head and one reel with images of spades, hearts, clubs, diamonds, an anchor, and a sailor. 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. Includes one key.
Condition: (Very Good - Excellent).
Item Dimensions: 14-1/2"T.
