Cheap monkey climber!

I missed it too, thankfully nothing too exciting.

I love the top pediment with the car.

Very cool. Not something I'd particularly want to buy, but fascinating all the same and it's great it's going to be restored properly.

The steering wheel looks huge. On average I wonder how long a roll of paper lasted? After conversion to a Drivatest would the paper roll printed with 6 different tracks and then repeat?

I have seen some older Streets Wheel Em In machines with a vertical rubber conveyor belt right at the back, about 8 inches wide, with rows of short brass spikes in zig zags across the belt (several inches apart) all the way around the belt sticking through about an inch on the outer side of the belt...

I'd say you got the bargain of the year at 1,500 euros.

Seems a snip compared to the fortune teller.

I nominate Diane Abbott to deal with it

I chose my words carefully. I have seen the machine before, and the old auction catalogue. I originally started this thread about the fake Meurice fortune teller which eventually sold on eBay for around £300. My comments were made in relation to your fortune teller's previous appearance on Ebay whic...

It's a shame the current seller still has the fortune teller listed on Ebay as "dates around the 1940s", as it clearly doesn't, especially given the £6,000 (not working) price tag. I seem to remember it being on eBay some time before and being sold with 'provenance' that it appeared in an ...
