Kit Kat penny slot machine

This beautiful Allwin penny slot was made in the 1950's by Oliver Whales. I found it in an auction house and it was looking a bit worse for wear. Considering it had been used in a traveling fun fair for the last few decades i'm surprised it's here at all. I loved the illustrations and typography, also the aged oak case looked amazing.

It wasn't working when I picked it up and the glass was broken. After tracking down a guy who owns some penny slots on Southport Pier I managed to get a number for a guy called Jerry who collects them. After some persuading I convinced him to get mine working, he also replaced the glass with an original piece. He told me that these particular machines still work as Kat Kats haven't changed shape in the last 60 years, which makes it very collectible. Thanks Jerry!

Not for sale (until I get sick of Kit Kats)
