My cool find in Australia

[rocketaroo]

I have a trade stimulator here in Australia. Apparently is quite valuable, so am here for advice about value, and finding a potential buyer. It's called "The Australia" Has cards on reels, and uses sixpences to win cigars.

Cannot help you with value or even who might be interested in buying, but if you look at this topic, these machines have been discussed on their origin and rarity on the site before. What is a surprise is potentially how many have survived, so not as rare as one would assume.

Nice find

Thanks!

I made a topper, don't know wether I like it, but was a project to do.

A decent effort but being asymetrical kind of ruins it, plus far too ornate for even that cabinet, especially with this being a machine dating late 30's at least. I'd suggest cutting off all the outer filagree and you'll be much closer to the original style which was copied from the US machine.
