Antique Madam Melba’s Fortune Teller Arcade Amusement Game Coin Operated 1 Cent
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:27712163 | Year: 1928 |
For sale at NO RESERVE is an extremely rare Madam Melba’s Fortune Penny Bank. 1 cent. Arcade Amusement fortune teller Gypsy game machine. I’m not certain but the card on front indicates a date of “allowed 3•6•28”. I assume that is a date related to patent. This is a very old and rare machine or game. It is in horrible condition and missing lots of the parts. It is still a very cool, albeit creepy looking game. Please look closely at the photos. If you research via goo...gle, you will see there is much more to this machine than is included. I have no more pieces. Assume the worst on condition. Her head is split. No clothes or crystal ball. No fortune cards. No coin slot. And the list goes on. Just what you is is what you get. The measurements are about 12” tall by 7” deep by 5.25” wide. These machines in proper condition have sold for anywhere from $750 to $4, 500 (Morphy auction 2016) for newer versions. This came from a Los Angeles amusement collection (The Pike).
