ALL ORIGINAL MILLS “TWO-BIT” UPRIGHT DEWEY. Patented in 1898, the Dewey was produced by Mills for 20+ years. Truly one of the most mechanically reliable and attractive of the Mills upright slot machines. A quarter, or up to six quarters, could be played. If all six slots were selected, you were guaranteed a winner. Rewards would be anywhere from fifty cents to five dollars. This is an earlier version with a paneled quarter-sawn oak cabinet and blackened copper oxide plated castings. The lithographed tin wheel is more aesthetically pleasing than the normal wheel found on Deweys. This particular wheel is known as the “pie wedge” wheel. Original glass with mirror and reverse-painted “TWO BIT” is overall in very good condition with some flaking. A very impressive and attractive gambling machine, appealing not only to collectors of coin-operated machines but to other collectors as well. SIZE: 66″ h x 29″ w x 18″ d. CONDITION: Overall very fine+ original condition not only to the wood but to the iron castings as well. 1-10535 (18,000-22,000) Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Spring 2010 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.
