Re: English Execution

Thank you Sweetmeats. Would that be Leonard Lee, son of Nelson Lee? Did he sign or leave any identification markings on his machines? The side handles suggest a traveling show. Thanks again. !!CHEERS!!

English Execution

Greetings,
Does anyone know what this English Execution might be? Is it Folk Art, a Prototype, or maybe a Traveling Sideshow piece? These are the only pictures that I have.

Your Fortune And A Smile

Happy New Year 2022 I recently stumbled upon this interesting wall machine. I'm not sure if it's a one-off home-made machine, or a prototype, or some kind of steampunk design. "YOUR FORTUNE AND A SMILE". The Fortune reel spins to give the patron their "Fortune" and the Funhouse M...

Re: Empire Amusement Machine Fortune Teller

Thank you for everyone's reply. I first thought it looked like a Bryan's machine. The case looks like a Fruit Bowl or Rippler and the square edged coin entry/card dispenser reminds me of a Bryan's Clock. Sorry, but I do not have the machine in my possession for a closer look. If anyone is interested...

Re: Bulstrodes sale

I was one of the interested parties on this game. I just love these 2player arcades and have never seen this one. It appears that there is a knob to turn the players or maybe just the goalie. Does anyone know who made this and what the functions are? An American fan wants to know !PUZZLED! !!CHEERS!!

Laughing Sailor but who's the maker?

I recently found this Laughing Sailor but I'm not sure how to tell who the maker is. I apologize for the poor pictures as I have not taken ownership yet. It looks like a Modern Enterprises machine but there seems to be a lot of re-creations out there. Thanks.

Re: Palmistry Palm Reading Fortune Teller

The style is definitely consistent with Ahren's, but the light up deco frame suggests a later distributor/operator conversion.
