You bet, I'll do Show & Tell. I love this piece, it means so much to me, and great memories. My Dad bought this in DSM, he passed away, last January.
It is a 1910 5 cent Mills Novelty Company Slot Machine. We have had hours of fun with this. It's really cool. I love the opening at the top, that shows the nickels in a row, going by as you pump the slot. I am not a big gambler, but will never forget how cool he thought it was, plus, when my son was 3 we came home for a visit, and I will never forget how much he loved it! we have pictures of him playing it. I know it's in great condition, I am not interested in selling it, as it means to much to me. But just wanted to share, I have seen some similar on E-bay, but not exactly like this one.
I really LOVE it. I think it's a REAL piece of Americana! My Dad would be proud to show everyone his slot machine, I will do it for him. Miss and LOVE my Dad.
