5¢ MILLS NOVELTY "THE LITTLE DUKE" CIGAR TRADE
Arguably one of the most ornate and intricately casted trade stimulators made by Mills Novelty circa 1905. This example is in nickel, with replaced tin Little Duke reel strips and paper. Age of the marquee is unknown however it is a perfect match to the machine. The back coin door is possibly a replacement but is evident only on close examination and again, a perfect match to the machine. On its original swivel base, plays well and has a key. A great example of a very difficult trade stimulator to locate and very rarely in this condition. Keys: Yes Condition (Very Good). Dimensions 20" x 12 - 1/2" x 12".
