Antique Penny Arcade Strength Tester Coin 1c Op Grip Test Trade Atlas? Gottlieb? For Sale

---

We located this fantastic antique/ vintage Penny Arcade Strength Tester machine and fell in love with the bright fire engine red color and all the chrome! This machine definately has the look! It is just as we found it, all surfaces are clean and shiny... this machine looks like it did new. We do not havethe key for this machine but the lock looks fairly standard and easy to replace. That being said, there are several pennies inside the machine and we were unable to view the interior mechanisms. The outside red color is smooth, shiny and even.There is some very slight cracking in the red finish on the right side of the machine (pictured) but you have to really look for it to find it. The grip mechanism is super shiny chrome and really looks great! We noticed the dial has a real retro look to it and the curved glass covering it is flawless. Please study the photographs to make a determination on this machine's condition for yourself. This machine would look great onyour office desk, in your vintage shop or man cave!

As stated, this machine is just as we found it. It was purchased from a gentleman's estate who focused his collection on vending machines of allsorts. We did not receive anyfurther information on this machine so we are unable to determine if this machine has been restored or if ithas original paint, ect.During our research of this machine, it appears that it could either be an Atlas or Gottlieb brand (they appear to be very similar) made in the 1930s through the 1940's. We also learned that replacement decals are easily and inexpensively found if its new owner desired.

We are not sure how this machine properly works but- with this machine, you place a penny in the slot, give a tug to the rod on the back of the machine and then when you squeeze the grip handles together, the arrow on the dial moves. We noticed that once your grip strength reaches 150 on the dial, a bell inside the machine sounds. This is certainly a beautiful machine and could definately be the center of many conversations with your friends!
