Q A
I have a Southern Belle one-armed slot machine. It was produced 1959-1964, I believe, but I have no idea of its value. Neil Burley, via email Your “one armed bandit” is relatively rare and was made by Cam Automatics. It was 3d a play – three old pence – and the most you could win was a shilling. Values range from €290 to €2,300 and while an in-person inspection would help, I’d say your machine is maybe in the lower end, at €400-€630. People like to collect these colourful items, though you need a lot of space and some good know-how to maintain them. ‘Bandit’
