Thanks for the kind words...

Larry - Yeap the old pennies are the same size as your half dollars.. You knew you had them in your pockets...

Brian - Not sure if they are rare... Have seen a few on Ebay.com not too many over here people tend to hold onto them.
If the machine was in its original box I would think that that would be like finding a V81 that had never vended a bottle...

My machine earnt its living on a travelling fair... Perhaps the most famous English travelling fair so it has a nice piece of history about it...

Oscar - Like the modern cranes they can be fixed so as not to pick up too much. At the moment that's the way mine is set. I have to work out how to make so that every time it goes down it collects something.

Brent - Its cosmetically very nice... Far too nice to restore...

Thanks Guys... Just need a little reassurance... Mrs B is not too keen.

         I remember these as a kid from the yearly fair at the Calgary Stampede in Canada. The floor was full of nickles and we must have deposited 20 nickles for every one we managed to pick up  laugh

         Nice wood cabinet Dave!

Hey Dave,
Very nice find!!
Hope you can sort the success rate. Don't recall ever having grabbed anything from those. Lost interest quick.
Maybe time for some small boxes with things inside Mrs. B. would enjoy.

Dave,
That's really a nice piece to add to the collection. Can we see a close up of the machine working. Also like the pepsi Jacobs, how about a few photo's of it as well. Thanks T
