It's interesting that an American seller would key in on a Bryan's machine. Good knowledge of British arcade, Bobkay! Unfortunately, the marquee is most likely related to some type of betting board with a spinner and a layout.

I would, however, be interested in acquiring a magic Bryans Clock.

The sign appears to me to be referring to a "Guess where it's going to land" game, so that's where I'd place my bet :lol:

The Bryans Magic Clock was designed for people with time on their hands.
After inserting your penny a length of string was tick tocked into pieces by a hidden disc and then replaced intact by someone's naked aunt.
Not popular.

I imagine that the seller has confused two machines into one. There is an American "Magic Clock" dating 1933 by Keeney.

John, for at least the last 5 years I've seen US sellers throw the Bryans name around for almost anything with a UK Penny slot. The same way people like to throw in "Eames era" when selling anything made between 1910 and 1980 ie - "mid century" !?!

BP, please cancel my order. I've changed my mind. I was jiggy all the way up until the last step of the procedure. Please don't misunderstand, I'm sure your Aunt is a lovely, lovely lady. Just out of curiosity, is she on your Mother's or Father's side?

I think the Aunt in question may be associated with a monkey's Uncle
