For one penny, watch the highly detailed wonderful female automaton - dressed in original period Victorian clothing - turn her head from one side to grab a fortune, and turn again to drop it down the chute for the customer to collect. She also pulls the lever with the other hand to dispense a fortune card. Truly an amazing machine to watch. The machine sits atop an older stand. The marquee is a replacement, which is not uncommon For these machines. The original case has had an older well-done refinish. The interior of this original machine is presented in exceptional condition with automaton figure having great surface patina with very minimal wear throughout. There is a coin box mounted under the top of the stand that was added by the operator years ago. CONDITION: Overall a wonderful example. Many reproductions of Madame Zita exist, but only very few originals survived and even fewer come to market. Working and with keys.
