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. Comment |

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. More about this machine Comment |
