Re: Watling Roll A Top Repro

If you are a subscriber to MMM, you will be able to see in the adverts pages that someone is selling a reproduction Watling Rol-A-Top.

These cranes are huge aren't they? So would've been hard to move or even deliver, wouldn't it? :-?

Re: Bryans Walden Goliath Crane on Ebay-USA

£40 back in 1936 must have been a huge amount!!
Which was more desirable do you think, the manual or the electric? :)

Taken from melvyn's site. :arrow: "William Edward Bryan was born in 1894, and opened up his slot machine factory at Kegworth, Derbyshire (England) in 1920."
Also says that the 12 win clock was introduced in 1947!!! :mad: haha
