This is an especially Great Holiday present for anyone who is a Felix the cat affectionato.

Own  a piece of history..  This mutoscope arcade, I was told when I bought it years ago, originally came from Brooklyn , Coney island. 

I believed it originally had two  reels that were interchanged..  but mutoscope only comes with one.

The marquee is original..  "The Cats in the  Bag"

but the reel inside is the  authentic original "stamped REEL No. 7715 "Chased by the Hounds! Felix the Cat "

you can check out the original order sheet from the early 1900s   http://www.pinrepair.com/arcade/mutlit2.jpg 

and even see number in lower bottom of sheet and quick picture of first frame of reel on top of page..

It takes a penny.. everything works fine , mechanically sound..

I can post or send more pictures of inside if needed,

looking for quick sale..

$2799 or best offer wins it

Update on questions

1. Yes it takes standard mutoscope reels

2. i did not list shipping and insurance fee.. Shipping charges are estimated after sale and of course are negated If its local pickup

3. Stand is Metal and sturdy

4. Someone suggested that at a show it would go for more than 4500... I'm looking to make a quick sale
