A striking Western-themed slot machine sculpture carved and painted by Jim Smock, known for his large-scale folk art figures incorporating authentic gaming devices. This full-size cowboy figure integrates a working Mills “Hi-Top” 5-cent slot machine, manufactured circa 1946–1952. The Hi-Top was Mills Novelty Company’s final and most successful mechanical slot, renowned for its reliability and sleek chrome design. Smock’s cowboy is humorously rendered as a “one-armed bandit,” with the slot machine handle forming the figure’s right arm. The carved bandit wears a broad-brimmed hat, red bandana, painted revolver, and classic cowboy boots, standing atop a circular base stylized as an oversized 1890 Morgan silver dollar—symbolizing American numismatic heritage and frontier culture. Jim Smock carved these figures as nostalgic tributes to Western Americana and gambling history, each example distinct in character and expression. His works are sought after by collectors of folk art and gaming memorabilia for their craftsmanship and cultural resonance. The term “one-armed bandit” refers to traditional slot machines operated by a single lever (“arm”), notorious for taking players’ coins, hence the nickname “bandit.” Dimensions: 24 x 24 x 69 inches high.
