5¢ HERCULES NOVELTY "SHOOT THE CLOWN" COIN OP MACHINE

C. 1930. Hercules Novelty Co. Chicago IL. This very rare arcade game has a lot going for it. It requires skill, vends gum, rings the bell with success, and possesses all the traits of a trade stimulator. The player receives 5 shots for their coin. The object is to shoot both hands of the clown and then the clown himself. If you accomplish this you knock him off his seat, bell rings and your a winner. If you failed, deposit another coin and get another 5 shots. This is the only one of these machines we have seen over the years and represents the best in what coin-op collecting has to offer. CONDITION: There is very little wear to the case, mechanically restored and working. It is in original in every aspect with the exception of the stand which is period, but added. PROVENANCE: From the lifelong collection of Bill Howard. This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made. Condition: (Excellent) Dimensions: 27" X 14" X 53"
