Winter Auction 2015 closing February 7

From a bygone era this is a vintage coin operated Mutoscope machine that has been professionally restored featuring none other than the Bambino himself, New York Yankee legend Babe Ruth on the rare original Mutoscope reel inside. Hand turning a crank once a coin is placed in operates the original Mutoscope reel that projects like an early moving picture through the viewer of Ruth not only demonstrating his swing of the bat, but to the delight of the viewer wearing a pair of boxing gloves sparring with Jack Dempsey’s trainer. While video entertainment has developed a long way since, this hefty countertop attraction would still serve as the centerpiece for any serious sports memorabilia display. The unit has been tested and is fully operational. Comes with a Gotta Have It LOA.
