old penny machine

[jimmycowman]

Hi,
I had this for Xmas off the wife. Does any one know how old it is or who made it? The only other one like it I've seen is in the back of the Carter's book. It pays out 6 or 12d by flicking the penny in the winning cup and then you push the knob on the right hand side to pay out.

.......... you got her well trained Jimmy, do you give lessons?

[jimmycowman]

Don't do lessons no sorry, but apparently she says if she buys or doesn't moan about me buying games, I'm not to moan at the amount of shoes and boots she always seems to be purchasing. Not sure who spends the most really!!! The pay knob's on the left, not right.

A wife who goes out and finds you one of these for Christmas should be encouraged to buy all the shoes she wants.

Dividends is one of a number of variations on the better known Pool Tote.
I don't know the maker but would date it somewhere between mid and late 1920s.
