Double upright slot machines like this Mills Novelty Co. Twin Chicago with musical attachment don't become available very often. The concept for a double slot machine was to give the operator two machines for one operating license. This double with two-bit and nickel denominations is in wonderful original condition, with original coin heads, all castings, including the monumental detailed front casting around the music box, and original finish on the quartered oak cabinet. In researching past auctions where a double slot was offered, its noteworthy that almost all of them are restored, have some replaced parts or complete replaced cabinets. This slot has a great original look, deep rich patina, and an original music box to boot! A double slot you can be proud to add to your collection. Plays well and pays. Has keys.
