Glenn Ford's Ocean's Eleven Slot Machine from Frank Sinatra.... (Total: 2 Items)

Description

Glenn Ford's Ocean's Eleven Slot Machine from Frank Sinatra. A vintage one-armed bandit from the fabled Sands Casino, given to Glenn Ford as a gift from Frank Sinatra, and kept in his home for many years. During its heyday, the Sands was the center of entertainment on the Las Vegas Strip, a well-earned reputation bolstered by the fact that during the filming of Ocean's Eleven at the hotel-casino Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Joey Bishop, Sammy Davis Jr., and Peter Lawford took the stage together for the first time, and became forever known as the Rat Pack. This slot machine is one of several seen in the movie and later obtained by Sinatra, who gave them as gifts. An undoubtedly cool piece of entertainment history, the slot machine is in Very Fine condition with some wear and tarnishing, and is accompanied by a baseball cap featuring a Sands logo. From the Glenn Ford Estate. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Peter Ford.
