Art Deco Baseball Coin Drop Baseball Game Arcade. An extremely rare piece of baseball amusement. Created during the art deco period in Chicago Illinois. This is a baseball coin-op game, titled "Play Ball Amusement Machine," and has been manufactured by the Exhibit Supply Company back in the 1925. Crafted in solid steel with beautiful details embossed showing baseball players of a pitcher and a catcher in positions. The playboard is carefully paint with green, red black and yellow colors with the round pin holes. This game has always been highly prized by collectors for its highly decorative artwork on the front and each side. All of the artwork is done in relief within the metal framework. A pitcher and catcher are pictured on the front, while an identical image of a fielder, together with a crossed bats-and-ball motif, adorns either side. The game is a bagatelle derivation in which the customer shoots a penny into the machine. There, it navigates a series of pins and falls into either one of the "fielder's" holes, or descends to the bottom, where it registers a single, double, home run, etc. The novelty aspect of the game is that if the penny reaches the bottom, a lever is pushed which returns it to the customer. If it falls into one of the "fielder's" holes, the penny is lost. A small sign on the interior displays the rules legend, "A game of skill, test your batting eye made a hit and get your penny back". The coin box inside has been nicely restored; the lock is original with the key. All parts looks original and the functions of the arcade amusement machine game are in working condition. The game, which is in working order, is complete with its original key and displays wear commensurate with its age and former use. Excellent condition overall. Wood, metal, and glass construction. An incredible historical piece in great condition that should adorn any room.

Unusual Drinking 'Straw' Hip Flask, Thomas Johnson. A very nice Victorian leather and plated spirit hip flask with curved body and very unusual lid. The lid is of the same design as the 'Patent Closure' top by Thomas Johnson, London. It is not the usual bayonet or screw top lid, the 'lid' will pivot to expose a conical top with a small hole which is attached to an integral metal tube which sits within the flask. This is used as a straw to suck the contents from the flask to reduce the risk of spillage whilst drinking, suggesting it would have been used on the move. The pocket hip flask is in good original condition with minimal wear and no previous owner's initials with the leather having level viewing windows cut into both sides, the top will unscrew so the flask can be refilled. Thomas Johnson was active from 1850 to 1898. Johnson worked from Dyers Buildings in Holborn and later from 32 Bedford Row...
