Title: Picked up a couple Items at Brimfield Fair
Post by: sc1101 on September 07, 2016, 11:36:38 pm
I took a ride to Brimfield Fair yesterday and I picked up my Pepsi Cola Neon that was delivered by a vendor. While I was there I found a cool old English Kit Kat Coin op I couldn't leave behind. It wasn't functioning but was complete. I took it home and after a little work and cleaning I was able to get it functioning again. I posted a video link below.

Love the sign... Your Kit Kat Machine is called an Allwin. They were very popular in the UK at funfairs and a sea sides from the 1930's right through to when we changed our money at the beginning of 1970's.

I have a Penguin (Candy Bar) one and have had others in the past. The kids soon know how much tension to hold on the the flicker to win most times and clear you out.

Would have originally work on an old British Penny.

Did I say I loved the sign....

Dave

Two nice items! Congrats!
Dave - I believe my children would clean it out as well! The motivation is high when candy is involved!

Thanks guys! I was also originally thinking late 30's also but based on the slogan "Bigger & Better" I think its 40's. It is original as is the neon but it has had some of the neon repaired for sure.
Dave, I'm sure the candy wont last very long with mine either!
