The king of the sports coin-ops. Wonderful one-armed bandit is the best condition specimen we have ever seen. Wonderful baseball scene on the front shows a diehard game in fullest color. Normally seen in painted metal, this one is figural cast iron and the rarest version of all. The field even has a Yankee Stadium look to it with the real homes placed beyond the outfield. Elaborate metalwork throughout, right down to the 1776 Liberty Bell coin slot. The reel is magnificent with baseball logos covering it. Right before your very eyes roll crossed bats, gloves, and baseballs to tell you whether you have won or lost. Reels are not original but beautifully remade. The original reel is included however for authenticity purposes. Gorgeous wood body in original oak finish has been lovingly restored. This pantheon piece is literally covered with baseball designs. NRMT. 26x16x17". In immaculate condition, this is something that must be owned, enjoyed and loved.
