Hi does anyone know anything about this bell-fruit enamel badge with a Winston Churchill coin with it.

Many thanks

Same question at beginning of this thread, almost certainly an item made up to give away to Customers or Dealers by Bell Fruit back in mid 60’s, these are badges of their machines and obviously Churchill crown worth 5 shillings

Seen a few over the years on eBay and auctions, not high value, but a collector of either coins or Bell Fruit machine might like one in their draw..

The badge was made by a very high-quality badge maker( Fattorini & Sons) who made car badges for companies like Bentley, Lotus and Aston Martin, as Tom says, look to the early part of the thread or read the full history of the badge here https://www.penny-arcade.info/the-bell-fruit-

Hi,
I'm new here and apologies if posted in the wrong section.

I've a one arm bandit as shown on the pics attached.
Trying to find details about it as the only model I can find anything about that is similar has the spitfire graphics on the glass and not a tic-tac-toe version.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

I believe the the machine was made by Bell-Fruit, info on the company can be found here https://www.penny-arcade.info/the-bell-fruit-

I've not seen that one before. The one with the spitfire is called Action Line.
You'll find more Bell Fruit Manufacturing info, including some other console bandits they made in this merged topic.
