Pilot, The
Description
Steer your way to the jackpot. Drop 5 in any or all coin slots, press the handle, and watch the reel spin. If you win, a flag or the jackpot symbol of a pilot pops up in its window on the marquee, a bell rings, and a trade token worth 10 to 1 drops from the side. Early cast-iron trade stimulators were often richly detailed. Here, the elaborate scene on the side depicts two oarsmen on a raging sea. Mills Novelty's design and craftsmanship make this an object of art.
