Since this is a "small-time" club of people site maybe you should market the machines on the various Facebook slot pages.

It will make the comments that were posted here look like a love fest. :-D

Go to https://www.facebook.com/Indian-Chief-O ... e_internal to see the page the owner put on Facebook.

The following is stated about the machines

All original set of 5 Indian Chief "One Arm Bandits"
* They were manufactured in commemoration of the
Five "Peaceful Tribes" of Native Americans.
(1) The Miccosukee (Creek)
(2) The Seminole
(3)The Cherokee
(4)The Choctaw
(5) The Chickasaw
The original coinage is in the viewing panel in the front of each machine. They are all in working order and in pristine condition.


I never knew Jennings made machines in commemoration of the 5 "Peaceful Tribes".

In North America we have a long-standing tradition of just making crap up about indigenous tribes to suit whatever needs we might have. :^o

Provenance is non tangible hard to put a price on. Usually provenance only adds desirability for a sale but does not translate to actual dollars. Very few people add additional value to an item because of their prior ownership. And Capone is not an option because he was sent to prison in the early 1930’s and was most likely dead when these were made. The owner states that these were made in the 20’s but were actually made some 20 years later. Lots of complete sets of Jennings console machines have survived with most being much more desirable than these, such as Sun Chief, Sweepstakes, Monte Carlo and Prospector. Swami knows because he still has and has had some of the best of these. I guess it’s fun to to show a bunch of average machines, put crazy prices on them and whip people into a frenzy but I’m afraid that’s all this is.
