Hello Everyone. Happy Holidays to All.

I'm looking for a front door to a coin operated electric shock sailor.

I know it's a long shot, but if you don't ask.....

Hi,

I just found this French Wall Machine. I can't find anything on-line about it. Is anyone familiar with this game?

Thanks!

Hello Everyone,

I've listed a few Bryans Machines in the Market but was unable to post any pictures. Here are a few pictures of my Bryan Machines....

The two accounts by Bolland are from an interview conducted by the late Jon Gresham in connection with a book on coin op machines that he was writing. Sadly, although completed, Jon’s book was never published I could read these stories for days. Is there a book waiting to be published? Please keep ...

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!!

Hi,

Can anyone shed some light on the LA CHASSE A COURRE (The Hunt) arcade game that was in this auction? I've only seen pictures and wanted to know more about it.

Cheers

Can anyone shed some light on this X-Ray fortune card dispenser?

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.

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

Hello fellow collectors,

Can anyone tell me about this palm reader? I'm not sure who or when this machine was made. Any info is greatly appreciated.

I will post more pictures as soon as I take possession. Although I haven't seen it in action, I'm told Charlie uses his cane to lift up Mabel's dress and then she turns to slap him across the face.

So, is the assumption these were made by Bolland?

Hello and Happy New Year!

I recently found an interesting Working Model called Charlie and Mabel in the Park. I cannot find any information as to who made it and or when it was made. I know someone on this glorious site has some info....Thank you .

I was being sincere. I share the same passion for the Working Models. I was at the VCA Auction to witness the William Harrah collection and I was amazed to see the Burglar Model command such a high price. I prefer the Execution type models but all of them are appreciated.

Thank you Mr. Moonriver,

Your vast knowledge of Working Models is greatly appreciated . I have seen a video of the Bellringers (I'm in love), but I haven't seen a Firefighers nor do I know what movements they have.

Hello Fellow Collectors, I have been offered in trade a Firefighters working model made by Charles Ahrens. The machines seems to be in working order. Can anyone tell me what kind of value these have? I haven't seen a Firefighters sell on the open market and do not know the value. !PUZZLED! Thanks fo...

Thank you Mr. Gameswat, That's the one.

I noticed an interesting coin operated cigar dispenser skill game in Stacey's Auction this week. Did anyone else see this machine? Is it cast iron, sheet metal? What/Who manufactured it?

I believe it did have blue paint at one time. Low 4 figures (U.S. dollar) is what my item is valued in the trade. I'm guessing this would not be an even swap.

I have been offered this counter-top shooting gallery game in trade. I have no idea about this little gem nor have I ever seen one. Can anyone help identify and possibly some comparable sales? I hope I'm not violating any rules by asking its value. Thanks for the support.

Hi Dave, Thanks for your info. I agree the wood balls are too light. I'll have to look for an alternative. There seems to be a lot of brass throughout, making me think it might have been pieced together. But again, I'm not too versed on these. It's a great looking piece and I didn't realize how heav...
