1899 ROOVER BROTHERS CO. ELEPHANT WONDER FORTUNE TELLER

Every single original Roover Bros. fortune teller machines are EXTREMELY scarce and EXTREMELY valuable. However, this superb and original example is the 1899 Roover Bros. Elephant Wonder Fortune Teller. It is absolutely the rarest of them all. I found myself feeling uniquely privileged just to examine, evaluate, play, and share it with all of you. First produced in the year 1899. This one cent Elephant Wonder Floor Model Fortune Teller was produced by the Roover Brothers Co. of Brooklyn, New York. Roover Bros. answered the popularity of the Mlle. Zita Fortune Teller, circa 1898, with this anthropomorphic elephant. Most popular with clientele of the period as well as the collector community today, The Roover Bros. Co. manufactured five different fortune tellers and this example is the rarest and most desirable of all of them! Jumbo, the Elephant Wonder, is dressed in a lovely Victorian era silk and lace dress, with wooden limbs and articulating leather trunk. For a penny she flips through her book of fortunes to deliver a message to a lucky patron. The ornate cast iron base is in original condition and shows some paint loss that does not detract from the beauty of the piece. This fortune telling elephant is as the name appropriately implies: wonderful! Very fine with well-done replacement marquee and back panel. This exceptional and very well-preserved machine is certain to be a center piece in any advanced collection. A once in a lifetime opportunity to own an extremely rare arcade machine of this caliber. ​The Torrence Collection has a long and prominent history with the rarest of antiquities spanning more than twenty-five years.
