I've noticed that powerful businessmen often have a love of slot machines and games of chance in their homes. Those with a taste for vintage machines may want to know about this one-of-a-kind machine, a 5 cent Schiemer-Yates "Gibson Girl" floor model slot machine. It was manufactured in 1905 and will be auctioned off as part of the Victorian Casino two day antique auction March 3, 2007 and March 4, 2007 on eBay Live Auctions. The auction will feature over 1,000 lots of antiques and collectibles including juke boxes, calendars, and bar fixtures. The slot machine is in beautiful shape and has been in a private collection for 30 years.
It should bring in $100,000 to $300,000.

If you've read The Magus by John Fowles you know what type of antique that powerful business man collected.
And yes, I know the business man moniker may have been hastily applied to that character.
Either way, that is what I though of when reading this.
