Midget Derby

Here are some photos that I took of the Midget Derby as well as a much longer video that was published in the non COPS area of the forum.

This is the only example of this machine known. No one knows who made it. Some speculate that it was Watling. I have seen and inspected this machine in person. I don't think it was made by Watling or any of the major slot manufacturers. I think this machine was a prototype. I would speculate that machine was made in the late 1930s, possibly into the mid 1940's

This machine was part of the Bill Harrah collection which was recently sold and I have been told is going to be auctioned off in the fall of 2014.

Please do not share the video link or photos with anyone else.

Go to http://youtu.be/xsCFyMWRzkY to watch the video.

Here are some photos.

Since the auction is over, this thread has been moved out of COPS and into Just Chatting so all can view.

Thought people might enjoy seeing the video which was restricted to COPS and also read the comments.
