This ia a very RARE 1925 Caille NAKED LADY Superior Bell Slot Machine that has been completely restored It is one of the most sought after Caille Superior Bell Slot Machines and very hard to find and especially in this condition...It is completely Original! Even the reel strips which are in very great condition for being 93 years old and even the original cash box. Everything original....It .. This having a 25 cent denomination must have been in a high rollers room because remember in 1925 25cents was a lot of money back then! Made by Caille during the height of Prohibition in Detroit, MI this model was a moderate success for the company. During Prohibition (1920 to 1933) in Detroit there was a LOT of illegal activity going on. Most notable the Purple Gang ran a lot of the vice in the city, including gambling. During this time all the slot machine manufactures were located in Chicago, except for Caille. While Chicago was probably the epicenter of gangsters, speakeasy’s, slot machines, etc, Detroit was a major hub for rum running to and from Canada, allowing the Purple Gang to grow and become the primary force in the city. It’s no doubt that organized crime utilized slot machines as a profit center. When the Naked Lady came out in late 1925, every back room, speakeasy and bar had to have one of these machines in Detroit. Due to laws regulating the sale of antique slot machines, I, as the seller will NOT sell to members in the states of Alabama, Connecticut, Hawaii, Nebraska, South Carolina and Tennessee.
