MILLS CRICKET UPRIGHT SLOT MACHINE.

MILLS CRICKET UPRIGHT SLOT MACHINE. Produced for many years, this gambling device created from the turn of the century through the mid-1920s, this large floor model “Jackson” machine was perhaps the precursor to the modern day nickel nudger/cascade machines. A player would deposit a nickel in the coin slot and try his best to maneuver his nickel through a series of pins down to a small pocket. If successful, he would crank a handle on the side, releasing a cascade of coins into the payout cup. A most successful machine with only minimal mechanical failure, these machines were a virtual goldmine for the operator. Seldom found, compared to the dial machines, these are a true collector’s treasure, as well as elusive and visually attractive. SIZE: 65″ h. CONDITION: Overall finish appears to be original, although enhanced with a clear coat. Wooden panel back door is not original to machine. Minor wood loss/chip to upper right hand corner, minor chip/loss to lower left capital. 1-8927 (30,000-35,000)

Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Spring 2009

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
