Stow, OH
Quoted from dirkdiggler:So i did some research on the Cowboy Slot Machines.
Originally designed in the 1940s by Frank Polk. Made 92 of them. Hand carved wood with Mills High-Tops.
1979 Mannie Sanchez made 15 of them. Again hand carved with Mills High-Tops slots in them.
Very rare. The pic is of the ones Sanchez made. I want the devil one!
The picture you posted was used by Bill Harris / Royal Bell LTD as part of their sales effort. Possibly Sanchez carved the originals however Royal Bell sold many more than 15. I purchased my miner from them in 1981. The carving shipped was $1524 and I added my own Mills Jewel Hightop.

One of the manufacturers that has not been mentioned is Richard DeLong. He passed away last year but produced carvings for 30+ years.
