Another Wish List Item To Add To The Collection
« on: January 11, 2012, 05:19:41 PM »
Well im pretty excited with my latest purchase not exactly what ive always wanted but probably as close as ill ever get.

   Its very old and not a reproduction sadly its been converted to dollar coins which i might aswell leave so people can use it im told it was used up until recently by a carnie who has a heap of cool old gear fingers crossed i can end up with a bit more.

There used to be a milkbar/cafe in Queenscliff that still had this type of stuff on the wall
burnt down in the late 70's

I reckon that's one very cool addition to your amazing and eclectic collection  *%*
Genuine penny arcades like that are quite rare & generally very expensive.
Repros are OK, but they really don't have the finish & solid look of ones like yours.
Well picked up.

Yes I've turned down plenty of the repro ones just had to be original.

  Most of the crap I buy finds me this one I spotted out of the corner of my eye in a antique shop in Geelong

After some research these were made between 1958-64 in Christ church
