The Penny Machine Picture Book Nic Costa

[jingle]

Hello everyone
I have just seen this book and
Looked at the picture on the front
The cast iron sailor is sitting on his normal box
But underneath that is a cast iron stand
As anyone ever seen this before connected to
Any machine
Cheers

I think it was "Read my lips," BP; not "Read my eyes."

As I have just sold a matching pair
To a known dealer collector from Boston
They had liverpool stamped on the bases
So I guessed they had came of ships
,,as I still have mutoscopes with no bases and
Tuther machines that may fit the bill but I
Never checked ,so am hoping there not original machine stands

[daveslot]

have seen cast iron mutoscopes on these stands but they had a block of wood making the connection and giving more height

Maybe dave
But there not made for machines then are thee
There quite wide on the top
Prob ok for bandits
I think they were ships table bases
,,,I hope
