- IPDB According to Marketplace Pictorial History, David Gottlieb featured the words "Liberty Bell" on his payout games in honor of Charles Fey, the inventor of the original slot machine, "Liberty Bell". The name of this game "Plus and Minus" appears on the Liberty Bell artwork in the upper playfield. The words "Liberty Bell" appear prominently on the lower apron which can mislead one to believe this game is Gottlieb's 1935 'Liberty Bell'. However, that game has a very different playfield but does have the Liberty Bell artwork in its upper playfield. The solenoid-operated aluminum Liberty Bell mint vendor was invented by Edmund Fey and was used primarily on slot machines although its design allowed it for use on other devices such as this pinball machine. Its view window was supposed to permanently display five packages of mints to give the impression that the vendor was always full. A nice article from his son Marshall Fey appeared in the October 1985 issue of Loose Change magazine and discussed this invention as well as a 1914 patent for a rotary-piston internal combustion engine, granted to Carl E. Anderson and Edmund C. Fey. used
