Rare Steam Shovel, Chicago Coin, 6/56, 5" 1/2 feet tall, 27' inches wide, 31' inches deep, move two bakelite levers which operate the steam shovel to scoop up as many beans as possible and dump them in the hopper in a given amount of time (one minute). Uses a converted Doepke toy steam shovel. Had multiple ratings for how much bean weight was put into the hopper. Used two levers to operate the crane. Very similar to Williams' Crane (2/56), but the Williams game uses four buttons to control the crane instead of levers (making the Williams Crane more difficult to control).

This is one of the most desirable and visually appealing arcade games ever made.

A must for any serious arcade collector.
