Crafted of wood and metal with a plex front. This stands 20" high with two swing out supports so it may stand alone. This will produce twelve coins one at a time and has ability to deliver 2 separate loads of nine coins all at once. At the bottom of the ladder you will find a receiver with metal clamps to hold a glass (not supplied) in which to catch the coins with audible distinction. As coins are caught one at a time from thin air they are placed in the top opening of the ladder where they are seen to zig-zag travel down the ladder into the glass. The mechanics of this are one that would be a nightmare to try and reproduce and it is amazing that it was ever made. This was intended for use with British Penny size coins (not supplied). This is a very desirable piece for the apparatus collector.
Condition: Pictured is one area in which there will be found a crack not affecting coin travel, otherwise fine.
