1950s Frank Polk Character slots came into being in the early 1950s when Frank Polk carved 92 life-size statues to hold slot machines.  As the price of an original Polk character slot machine rose beyond the reach of even the most ardent collector, a few other artists started to carve character slots in 1977.  There are only several hundred of the wood carved character slots in existence, and therefore, they are quite rare and hard to find.  He is solid wood stand over 6ft.
