Made by the Buckley Manufacturing Company circa 1930, this arcade digger is in unrestored condition. With its iconic Art Deco styling, the Buckley digger is a well built arcade machine, with heavy nickel castings and well engineered mechanical operation. This digger comes with a pile of original prizes that were in the machine when it was found on the New Jersey boardwalk in the 60's. Unlike the arcade diggers of today where the target audience is children, the diggers of this age were marketed to adults and prizes often included cameras, binoculars, cast statues, etc. The condition is all original, and is in working order, however it will need some adjustment. All parts, locks, and mechanical components are original to the machine. A great restoration project or simply a great original, the choice can be yours!

This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made.

Condition: (Very Good).

Item Dimensions: 26 - 1/2" x 25" x 74 - 1/2".
