The lung tester is one of 12 reproductions of Mills 1910 Submarine lung tester made by J Papa of the National Jukebox Exchange in 2004.
They also reproduced Caille's Mickey Finn Tug of War, but in cabinet style: http://www.arcadetreasures.com/mickey-finn.html

Yes BP, Mad Magazine did steal the face, but so did Caille, proven to date at least back to 1894 according to this Wikipedia page.

Sega Mad Money also had him on the reels but in America, there could have been trouble for copyright reasons. An identical reel setup with $ signs to replace Alfred's funny faces was used and named "Strike a Bonanza". This machine also appeared in the UK with £ signs on the reels. 3 $ or £ symbols anywhere in the window paid 18 coins.

for those too young to know who Moxie is/was here is a picture of her and her illustrious boyfriend in Feb 1959 and a photo of her engagement ring which came into my possession some years ago and is now locked in a secret bank vault (or its behind BP's clock,I cant remember which)
