This slot machine is a classic 1923 Operators Bell by Jennings. It was one of their first stalwart machines. Ode D. Jennings got his start in 1960 as Industry Novelty Works, buying and selling used slot machines. He then recognized a market and bought up machines in states that were making gaming illegal. He revamped and resold the machines. In 1918 they built their own machines, and by the time this model came out, Jennings machines were in great acclaim for their hard working nature.
