Happy Home	Caille Bros Co	1910	N/A	Peep show tease, look behind the shades into a ladies bedroom (of course the lady is not present). Rotates through predictions of when you will marry. I obtained this one directly from Steve Gronowski out of his collection. It is an original, there are some poor imitations floating around but originals don't show up often.

Green Ray Television	Hope Bradshaw & Co	1931	N/A	"5" was written on backside of front fiberboard on mine, but don't know if that was a SN. There are 10 machines identified so far, likely more out there so not very rare. I identified 8 unique ones found in pics/videos in a museum restoration pdf and online searches. One currently under restoration (as of Mar 2024) by a forum member, and of course Mr. PM has a pic of a nice original one. Lots of info in the forum thread on these.
