Caille Superior

[gumball43]

I bought a Caille Superior 25 cent slot machine...it says Wisconsin Novelty Co. Fond du Lac, WI on the front. Is this a private labeled machine? Or what is the purpose of the Wisconsin Novelty Co. Just things I don't know about and am wondering. It is a great machine...The guy I got it from told me this. He said Mills are Chevrolets...Jennings are Cadillacs...Caille's and Watlings are Mercedez Benz...Do you agree?

Thanks, Steve

Wisconsin Novelty was a large dealer of Caille machines. If you were a big enough customer, you could have have the name of your company put on the machines. It is very common to find these tags on various Caille machines. I have seen quite a few over the years. Watling did this with their lollipop scales. You could have the foot plates with your company name if you bought enough scales. I don't know if they charged for this or not. Albert Pick was a large jobber and his tags can be found on Caille and Mills uprights.

I really like Watling and Caille 3 reel machines. I would agree that they are the best looking of any made but mechanically, I think Mills and Jennings are probably more durable. That does not mean that if you find a good machine that you will possibly have trouble with it. For normal home use they are both very dependable.
