Looks like a Buckley machine?

Item #111047306915 is listed as an "ANTIQUE MILLS 1930'S ART DECO SLOT MACHINE", but it sure looks like a Buckley to me. Even though the upper casting doesn't have the Buckley name next to the reel window. Maybe they just installed a Mills upper casting? Or am I just mistaken and this is in fact a Mills?

Definitely Buckley. I just picked up Buckley converted Mills Cherry Fronts (nickel and quarter) and very similar. That denomination plate is Buckley and looks nice polished up. Appears not to have the flaky Buckley escalator but one of my two Buckleys still had the Mills escalator.
