COIN OPERATED HAUNTED CHURCHYARD WORKING MODEL.

COIN OPERATED HAUNTED CHURCHYARD WORKING MODEL. Another typical amusing English working model, often found in arcades and other venues. This model depicts a church and its adjacent graveyard. Sitting atop a grave is the village drunkard, and when the machine is activated, a series of comical encounters begin. Popping up from beyond the rear stone fence is a fellow sot and a ghost. Within the graveyard itself, a tomb at the rear opens and an ominous figure appears, and from the flagstone walkway one of the stones rises and a skeleton appears. The village drunkard must be taken aback as the cover of the grave upon which he sits slowly rises and a skeleton appears. The church, which is constructed of fancy aluminum castings, the one window opens to reveal a skull and crossbones. Purported to have been made in the 1950s by the Kraft Company, this amusing device is in a wooden cabinet with what appears to be its original finish and is wired for 220, but a converter accompanies the machine and is ready to plug into any 120 volt outlet. In fully operational condition, the machine appears to be complete. SIZE: 70″ h x 18″ d x 25″ w. CONDITION: Overall very good to near excellent, lacking keys for front door. A small maker’s plaque is missing. 1-12992 (2,000-4,000)

Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - June 2013

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
