For your consideration we are offering a rare and desirable 1957 Genco Gypsy Grandma Fortune Teller.
Moving Automatons which forecast the future began appearing in the late 1800's with many major manufacturers such as Exhibit Supply, Munves and others producing variations through the years. The Animatronics fortune tellers have taken on a almost magical mystique with their use in movies such as 'Big' starring Tom Hanks. The Genco Gypsy Grandma fortune teller is considered by many to be one of the most intricate animated fortune tellers ever produced. A patron asks Grandma a question via the 'microphone' on the upper left side of the front glass. A dime is then inserted and Grandma comes to life. The figure appears to breath with her chest moving in and out. Her head moves and her hand moves. Amazingly, she moves her hand over to a drawer, opens it with her other hand and then actually selects a fortune card, gripping it via a moving fingers and thumb. Grandma then lifts the card over to a caldron and drops it whereby it goes down a chute to the waiting patron. Finally Grandma blows the patron a kiss and goes back to sleep. This early animatronic figure is truly lifelike and amazing to watch!
She is certainly a must for any upscale Arcade Collection.
