30 Years Apart

In the mid 80s I bought this Little Duke. Always thought it had an interesting stamp on top of the side vendor loading door.
It says: "Wisconsin Novelty Co., State Distributors, Fond Dulac, WI."

I recently bought a Caille 4-Reel Superior and it has the same stamp on it.

Anyone else have any of their machines?

I have had a couple Caille Superiors stamped with the Wisconsin Novelty in the reel window frame. The Little Duke I have never seen.

Wisconsin Novelty was the largest distributor of Caille slot machines. But they were not limited to Caille.

Papa:
I might also ad, that Wisconsin Novelty distributed many Caille Trade Stimulators as well. They didn't put their name on very many
of their models, but you will occasionally find their brass plaque on the front baseboard, just in front of the award card frame, of
the early model Caille "Jr. Bell".
