MILLS 5¢ PERFECTION POKER MACHINE.

MILLS 5¢ PERFECTION POKER MACHINE. A simple yet effective and popular gambling device manufactured from the turn of the century up until the 1920s or 1930s. Often this machine was on the counter of a bar or general store or another place of business; one would deposit a nickel in the slot and try to obtain a winning poker hand, which in turn would entitle him to free cigars. Regardless of whether the player won or lost, the owner of this device always made money…occasionally handing out a cigar that cost three or four cents in return for five cents. Handsomely encased in an oak cabinet with a wooden marquee and award card (replaced), seldom was mechanical failure ever incurred, and yet these machines were a real money-maker! SIZE: 11” x 9-1/2” x 16”. CONDITION: Overall condition is very good plus. Minor warpage to top wood surface. 1-8928 (1,300-1,500)
