5¢ MILLS JUNIOR SUCCESS FLOOR MODEL POKER TRADE STIMULATOR
These cast iron poker machines have a great classic look, and you can see why almost every bar, cigar store and saloon in the early 20th century had one. The fact that this example survived two national war efforts to collect iron in both WWI and WWII is a testament to how prolific they were at the turn of the century. Even given the numbers that were produced, there are few survivors, and few yet in this very good original working condition. CONDITION: Original marbled paint, continuous factory-made reel strips, castings and marquee. This example shows some signs of wear and use consistent with age, which only adds to the classic appeal these machines have with collectors. Working and with keys. PROVENANCE: From the lifelong collection of Bill Howard. Condition: (Very Good) Dimensions: 56" x 14" x 14"
