The case has a lovely patina on it and, if it were my machine, I would not get the metalwork rechromed, as I think it would be out of place with the case, which you so rightly say tells a 55 year old story. I would clean up the met...

I see the running hare has appeared on ebay again, must be the third time in about 12-18 months, nice machine although £2650 is beyond my piggy bank.

I am sure we have all heard of the 'don't scratch your nose while the bid is going' well this actually happened to me !!! I was waiting for the following lot to come up at Coventry and casually scratched my nose to which the auctioneer acknowledged a bid - what !!! !OMFG! fortunately the bidding wen...

This indeed sounds encouraging and perhaps the GC are now also more accommodating as a result of a number of MP's getting involved.

I have seen a slightly different Tivoli to this one with 'D Harper & Co, Holloway, London' printed on the top pedement. The main difference between Hottoddy's Tivoli and the Holloway, is that the payout tray for the cigar token is set below the return penny chutes and that there is a third payou...
