That is not a Mills "Dewey" in the auction. It is a made-up-from-scratch 'Phoneyola', that started showing up
in the 1980's, by a couple of builders. It is not a full size Upright. It stands about 4 ft. tall. The case is home
made miniature, with special shrunk-down legs, side handles, and pillar castings. The mechanism, coin head,
play handle, payout cup, and coin view casting, are from an English 1d "Commercial". You know, the machines
that everyone likes to call a "Ben Hur", but are far from it. Look at the coin entry. It is for the large English
penny, but the people selling them, will tell you it is a 50c machine. Also notice the new glass, that says
"Little Dewey". These machines are cute, but not anything close to resembling a real Upright. They also made
a couple of other miniature models as well. One was a Mills style "Cricket". I never wanted one, but a couple
of collector friends had examples of each. Some were sold at the earlier VCA Auctions. Don't remember what
they were selling for.
