Just a heads up that there is a Ruffler & Walker Grand National racer listed on the EH web site for any one that missed this one.

picked these 2 up. Does anyone have info on that familiar allwin?

The allwin bmc. 1930s

As Jimmy stated, the allwin is by The British Manufacturing Company (London) run by Charles Featherstone and dating from the 1930s, they also made a halfpenny version of this machine - see photo below, the company did not survive WWII.
Lovely looking machines.

Do British collectors generally like Kicker Catchers? They're like a more aggressive bajazzo ;)

Grand National and Slick cosmetically and mechanically restored and both great fun.

Like the connotation that you can literally 'spend a penny' in the bathroom nick

[coppinpr]

Nice, but I think the Grand National would have looked better in the bathroom.

Nick - is that a 'Swinging Swinger' I see next to the Grand National?

Yep

Ex Barry's?

[nick6969]

Yes, bought it locally about 18 months ago along with a Ring a Bell machine. Definately a 'money taker' for the arcades, as very addictive!

[arrgee]

Yep

Thanks Mr pm, I missed that thread - it was posted when I was on holiday

[pennymachines]

Holiday? Are they allowed now?

[arrgee]

They were back in August - took the grandchildren so not actually a holiday for us.
