Hi guys! I have this Mills slot machine but I have no idea if it's a reproduction or even when it was made. It appears to have been sandblasted and redone and there is nothing on the machine to give me any clues. Does not have a serial number either (at least not that I can find).

What you have is a Mill/Sega machine Continental style. This came out after Sega Corp ran out of Mills parts and was the new design for them. Prior Sega used Mills Hi-Top machines from the Mills bell-o-matic corp. There's probably more info that other members can add.

This is great info! Thank you! Would you know about an approx.. year on it?

Your slot is from the late 1950s to early 1960s. Just sold mine last year.

This machine is not a Mills slot machine. It is a SEGA - a foreign machine, and was not made by Mills. Size of coins is slightly different from American Coins so you may have a problem if the payout slides haven't been changed to accommodate U.S. coinage..

SEGA,
and abbreviation of SERVICE GAMES was a foreign purchase of the later Mills company, Mills Bell-O-Matic and actually had a United States base of operation in Las Vegas beginning in 1958 I believe!
Freddy Bailey, who comes on this Forum from time to time has a vast amount of information on the company!
