A restored version of the scarce 1894 countertop trade stimulator by Ideal Novelty is composed of a pyramidal oak case topped by a barrel-form coin receiver that revolves to the back and releases a coin into the play field with pins behind a replacement glass having applied lettering of THE TOWER. The lower front is mounted with a copper-flashed iron coin box having two hinged doors.
Measures 20 x 17 x 8 inches.
Very good restored and working condition. The case is constructed with newer wood replacements. A working key is present.
