Other wall machines include an early and extremely rare 'Pavilion' Tivoli type
machine, Bell Fruit Cascade, Pete Barson Smithy, Bradley Challenger, a rare
Stevenson & Lovett Sky Jump, plus a number of German wall bandits. Sadly, Harold
is no longer with us, so there will not be the usual varied selection of German electro-
mechs. Bryans machines include an early Pilwin, Ten Cup and Elevenses allwins; a
really nice W orlborl in streamline case, Bullion, Clocks and two hard to find All
Sports (yes two -what were the chances of that)?!
Not much in the way of floor-standing machines this year, with one exception: a
fantastic 1950s Monkey Race game. I'd really like this for myself, but at nearly 7ft
high, there's no way it would fit in the van. Another machine of interest is a nicely
restored 'Tuck Shop' pinball, by Shields of Bridlington - I don' t think I have ever
seen one of these come up at auction, they're certainly pretty rare.
As usual, there will be a good selection of 'other stuff , including a number of
classic slottie books that are now very hard to come by, being long out of print.
There ' s a huge number of bandit spares, and although they won't be of interest to
everyone, the 'bandit men' will certainly be having a field day this year! Of huge
interest will be some material relating to the Oliver Whales family, including covering
letters from Oliver Whales Jm (Oliver's nephew).
So, lots to look forward to. As last year, I shall be posting all the pictures supplied by
vendors on my website. I've already posted some - by the time you read this, I hope to
have posted them all. I'm also hoping that by the time you read this, I shall have fixed
the domain, so make sure you have it permanently pasted into your browsers:
