I«E EXHIBIT IRON CLAW »
The Greatest Profit Earner Ever Produced
Draws the Crowd
Gets a Steady Play
MR. O P E R A T O R : The Exhibit Iron
Claw is not exclusively a Penny Arcade
machine. It can be operated on percent­
age or in Dance Halls, Skating Rinks, in
front o f Stores— in fact anywhere the peo­
ple can see it, the machine will “ get thei
money.
Description
It is a mechanical wonder— a miniature
model o f a building construction machine
that works just like its big brother. Peo­
ple play it over and over again just to see
the machinery $ operate. Large windows
permit the crowd to watch it from three
sides. An added attraction is the fun o f
“ trying fo r a prize.” The player gets a
portion o f confection each time, whether
or not he is skillful enough to direct the
claw where it will pick up a prize fo r him.
Men, women and children crowd around
the Iron Claw awaiting their turn to play.
The Iron Claw always does a big business
at a handsome profit.
By turning the small crank in front o f
machine a player may select the spot
where the Iron Claw will dip down. He
then deposits his coin and the mechanism
automatically goes through a complete op­
eration. It is a fast worker. W e call your
special consideration to the handsome large
oak cabinet— the most beautifully designed
cabinet ever furnished fo r a coin machine.
Flashy top electric display sign. Equipped
regularly with special 110 volt universal
motor. Machine can be fitted to operate
a penny if desired. Dimensions—
Height 6 ft. 9 in.; width 26 in.; depth 21
in.; net weight 150 lbs.
Price $225.00
