Antique Mistic Derby Horse Racing Game
dated 1947 by Maitland. Play your horse in its own coin chute and your number lights up on the back glass, 25 cents to play. Then the tone arm drops on a 78 rpm record and plays the race through the speaker. You listen to it happen through the speaker. The trick is that there are 5 grooves on the record, and you don't know which race will be played. Its a 30 second race which for its time the game made good money. In cherry case with glass top and back has large crack in wood in front. measures 58"x33"x24" . Mentioned in the book Guide to Vintage Trade Stimulator and Counter Games by Richard M. Bueschal.
