Serious offers invited for this rare Oak Cased “Little Stockbroker” Circa 1927 owned by us over 30yrs. The maker Mr Granville Bradshaw OBE was more known for his work on the internal combustion engine, he was engaged by Oliver Dalton of the arcade automatics world to invent a coin operated machine to meet the strict anti gambling law.
His increadable idea was to build this machine where by you would play but when a winner showed in the window another coin had to be inserted to collect your win, deemed by the authorities as not gambling!
My old friend John Gresham loved this machine and kindly sent me a copy of the patent 32 yrs back.
PM for any further info thanks for looking.
