Can you identify this slot machine?
I believe it is a Mills Club Bell Century slot machine, circa 1937, but I'm not too sure. It takes US quarters and stands about 155cms tall.
Can anyone help me out with some info about this type of machine?

1933
The Mills Extrordinary Silent Bell was developed for the 1933 Chicago Worlds Fair, whose motto was the "Century of Progress". The advanced cityscape design was uniquely modern in gaming design, and is one of the only pure Art Deco slot machines today. Ours also has an original encased floor stand, rarely seen on slots of this period.
This one may be 1938, they kind of look the same all around. I have seen this one sell for $2750.00 at Auction. Dave
Beautiful piece!!
