Re: You be the Judge

when I have pointed things out to certain auctions houses, they often show little interest…

What a beauty

I was delivering some of the sauna equipment I sell to a new Gym being built near me in Newhaven the other day, when I pushed open the door I was immediately confronted by this beauty (please excuse the glare from the gym sign on the photo). The Gym owner rents this from a company offering these and...

Re: Picking locks

Buy a set of lock picks. You will find you often have need of them and these locks are easy to pick. Mills "snake" no way and a Sega "barrel" is supposed to be easy but I never could get the hang of it.

ABC Coin Co "Double Skippy" 1937

I saw this game online today while searching for something else and it struck me as quite a clever little trade stim/bar game that would have been popular(especially as a bar game between drinking pals). I'm sure some have seen it before, I have not. Made by ABC Coin Co (who seem to have made only t...

Although the vehicle in the photo could well be a Ford it's more likely to have much in common with you and be a "Willy(s) old bird", or even a willy old small bird (a "Bantam")

Exhibit Supply Jockey Club identified

It seems I'm making these harder each week. Don't blame me, I'm just trying to help people out.
So, can anyone ID the maker of this poor beast please? I can't find anything close. Bally perhaps or Pace?

Re: Extraordinary Escalator

I might be wrong but I thought the JP glass was attached to the JP unit and just pressed up against the window frame. This allows you to remove the unit without the coins all falling about.
