Small battery-operated flipper-less counter-top pinball with electro-mechanical score dial in the back-box. The balls ricochet between the solenoid bumpers to advance the score.

This appears to be Shields' first counter-top pinball which paid out rolls of sweets and works on the same principle as the later and more common Tuck Shop.

The two large flipper-like arms in the centre oscillate continuously like car screen wiper blades  and the object is to fire the ball so that it drops between them just as they sweep across the two central channels to win four or eight coins. This machine, which is similar in size to a conventional pinball, has been converted to decimal coinage.

This diminutive and unusual counter-top pinball appears to be from the 1950s but has been decimalized to take the now withdrawn half new penny. Like several other British payout pinballs, the object is to leave the winning (X) symbol lit when the ball exits play. Winning coins are paid over the top glass. A bumper light cap and ball firing control need replacing on this example.

This card-vending fortune teller was one of several which attempted to blind the public with science, like Brenner's Radio Analyst and Bradshaw's Green Ray. John Brenner, a German compatriot of Charles Ahrens, is credited with discovering the public appetite for such machines.

The name and mix and match style of this early Oliver Whales allwin betray its immediate post war origin. The spandrels are re-purposed BMCo stock.
