Creepy Vintage Coin Operated Machines (Includes Execution!)

madeleineswann....
Here are some creepy (in the best way) vintage coin operated machines from Battlesbridge Antique Centre. Includes an execution! Imagine you're at the seaside in the 1920s looking for fun and amusements.

I feel sorry for the jaundiced Victorian fortune teller at 1:24 because she instinctively *knows* the first successful liver transplant won't take place until 1963 so she has no chance getting on the NHS waiting list.

1:04 Well, I didn't need to sleep anyway

[@MadeleineSwannSurreal]

☭ The Soviet Onion ☭ ha ha!

[@madhatter6790]

that looks like it could be a prop in the Joker's hideout

[@pkmcburroughs]

I understand "The Laughing Sailor" was much more popular than "The Bored Sailor," who generally just shrugged and let out a heavy sigh once every 15 seconds.

[@MadeleineSwannSurreal]

Ha!

[@sb4040]

Then there was the "Violent Sailor" but his knife kept breaking the glass.

[@BecomeUseful]

These are amazing. I wish I could see the shop where they were made.

[@hydragosh]

My god.. u remind me some old memory of mine. Thank you really for the upload!

[@MadeleineSwannSurreal]

That's ok!

[@alanbourke4069]

I'm sure the Imperial War Museum used to have some of the 'haunted house' style ones in the early 80s.

[@dusterdude238]

would be kewl if they had two of each one to show it actually working and one with out the case to show the hidden mechanics of them and HOW they worked Mechanically

[@MadeleineSwannSurreal]

DUSTERDUDE238 it would!

[@byronbenguche]

Yeah it's safe to say that i'll be sleeping with the light on tonight ijs🤷🏿‍♂️😂😂

[@MadeleineSwannSurreal]

Hahaha!!

[@punkrockpub]

This is FUN!!!!! How rare are some of these machines for collectors to purchase?

[@MadeleineSwannSurreal]

I don't know I'm afraid

[@DamianAngels]

this was your cell phone scrolling back then lol

[@MadeleineSwannSurreal]

Lol yes

[@GemmytheObjectThingy]

2:36 I think that one was made by magic power somewhere in the 2010s so it's kinda newish

[@MadeleineSwannSurreal]

Oh I know, just a fun one at the end 🌝

[@jordyundieground3270]

Those are super cool

[@OmeedNOuhadi]

Awesome! -ONO

[@perceivingacting]

Same idea as "Sophia" robot now - moderately coordinated movements with associated noises that we see and hear as if meaningful but devoid of all intention and intelligence. Still fun though. But Sophia is NOT.

[@M1773N5]

is this at the arcade in Fisherman's wharf?

[@MadeleineSwannSurreal]

M1773N5 no, it's Battlesbridge Antique Centre in Essex

[@drawnseeker]

I will now have nightmares for the rest of my life.

[@MadeleineSwannSurreal]

Yay!

[@vortex4u952]

Can I see a part 2

[@MadeleineSwannSurreal]

I don't think there are any others there but thanks for dropping by

[@vortex4u952]

No problem

[@sandyscrapwitch2064]

These were old timey versions of Vine

[@MadeleineSwannSurreal]
