Spicers vintage slot machine auctions

[pennymachines]

Mr PM, I’ve a copy of the catalogue, which estimates do you require?

Thanks - that's great. A free year's subs to the Arena to you if you could post a scan here of the relevant page/s so I can copy them to the Arena Spicers auction record. (I need this bit: Estimate: £100 - 150 etc.) I thought they were worth recording, if only for comic value.

I did view machines and the Bryan’s crane definitely had a motor at the back.

Ah, that's interesting. I wonder if it was mechanically connected to the mech.

Thank you scorpa163 - I've renewed your subs for a year.

Spicers slot machine results now in the Arena

Well another plastic cowboy finished today at Adam Partridge sale for £1350 plus comm……a little tired and with a rough Bell O Matic Hi top

So there was I going to get my fibre glass moulding kit out and knock out a dozen hoping to achieve the £6400 each after the Spicer sale, but maybe the Cowboys are all down

Maybe it was the John Wayne marketing that pushed the price up @ Spicers...........?

This recent cowboy character moreso resembles Captain Black out of Captain Scarlet, or maybe Captain Black was modelled on this very creepy looking cowboy.

Looks like Spicers will be doing regular coin op auctions, unclear if at a sensible % rate, but seems to be just before Elephant one, a bit of competition

So three regular venues with Cottees

Spicers certainly commanded some high prices selling Teddy's arcade stash (not the best condition) and massive publicity. Every man and his dog must have told me! I rather suspected it was a bit too North. Another big possibility could be Angus Yorkshire salerooms at Kirby Moorside or even Bangers 'n Cash as I personally know Derek is keen to get more machines entered.

Plenty for the bandit boys.
A Laughing Sailor with a high estimate.

...and a reproduction Sailor at that, with a high estimate.

I like the roulette wheel - make a nice nut dish at Xmas.
