My site has been asked to handle the sale for the current owner who is now getting older and wants to move these on to a new home,(they will not split the set)
I have decided to offer a sneak preview to collectors on this site as I know this is where the serious slot collectors can be found.
The sale page is not quite complete and has not been published as yet so this is a direct link to the page (more photos and info to come, including, hopefully, reg numbers) so take a look, if nothing else its an interesting

The owner of those machines contacted me a few years ago. She was so proud of the so called provenance.
She said she would provide the provenance once I paid for the machines. Ummm, that is not how it works lady. She also bragged about how it would come with the money still in it and that money might be worth more than the $250,000, or whatever it was, that she wanted.
So, why don't you post the actual provenance on your site? I bet she has not given it to you.
Who was the supposed well known mobster? Let me bet. Al Capone???? You better have some original photos showing him with the machines and not just a piece of paper.
