Description

This auction
is for a cast iron recreation by the Mutoscopeman  Robert Wendland of the extremely rare 1895 Beverly Standard Grip Testing Machine. There are only three known originals. This is a coin-operated machine that tests the strength of your grip.  As a coin is deposited the player twists the handles as the Strong Man gives the Illusion that he is working against you. Your strength is revealed by the rising of the strong man's tongue. It is Amusement, Fun, and Challenging all in one. This is a real attention grabber that will entertain anyone. Last year 2020 was the 125th commemorative year of the original 1895 Beverly Standard Grip Testing Machine .    Height 57"
