Help 66 views and nobody can help?

Thanks Ken

I have a bunch but am not familiar with these do you have any books to reference? Any ID tags inside machine or casting info?

Well , the top one looks real familiar, but many companies sold stuff close to this. 2nd one... glass it's self looks similar to another machine (slot type). but really no clue. even on some "better" known machines, can be tough on the information, or even good photos.
sorry. Jeff H.

Only book I have is Guide to Vintage Trade Stimulators & counter games. No tags or stickers in the cabinet I was thinking the Circus game might be foreign the 10 cent tag is stuck on.

Thanks for the reply.

Ok then they are not in my books either so they must be "RARE"!

I don't have that kind of luck maybe someone made them up.

Thanks,

Hi ,
The first game is obviously an home made game, the Circus model was originally made by Auto-Bell, it was a credit only game, very popular in the early 1960's, it looks like this had the mechanism put into a new cabinet, maybe the console model got destroyed or a location wanted a small machine and the operator put it into a new cabinet, anyway the handle tells me it was an autobell game.

Ken:
I really hate to be the one to 'pop-your-bubble', but the top machine, is not factory. Nor does it appear to be an
operator invention. To me, it looks like it was slapped together by some 'Happy-Henry', with some scrap parts he
had laying around in the garage.
The so-called "Wonder-Fall" machine, is a complete Home-Made Fake. The only thing that looks to be original, is the
wood frame front, that is most likely from a British Wall Machine, or the like. The chrome-framed marquee does not
mate well, and the lettering is all decals, or dry transfers. The backboard appears to have all countersunk chrome
auto upholstery washers, mounted with Phillips-head screws. What the rationale is behind the stacked, and shingled
coins, is beyond me. What do they do? What are the holes for? Is there some sort of payout? The lower door appears
to be Formica. Is it a drawer, with dividers inside? No instructions. That "Amusement Only" card, is a generic card, that
was used in many machines. Mainly Pinball. I have repro's of the same card. Maybe after you play it for awhile, you can
tell us what it really does. I would like to see some closer detailed pics, to feed my curiosity.
