    Description

    This is a rare coin-op Clamshell Mutoscope movie clip viewing arcade machine from circa 1900. This ornate cast iron work of art and mechanics has been restored in a tasteful maroon with cream and gold highlights. It has a reproduction marquee card advertising the Louis Schmeling fight. The reel is an authentic period piece. The mechanics are in working order, but there is a switch in the back to operate the light. The mechanics are in place internally to reconnect the light to operate upon turning the handle.
    Act fast on this rare piece of history as it highly sought after and priced right. It is a fun conversation piece and a great addition to you home, game room, arcade, or business.
