Groetchen Mfg. Co.

"Pike's Peak"

Trade Stimulator and

Gumball Dispenser

Very Clean Unrestored Original

Penny Play

The object is to get as many of the five balls as far up Pike's Peak as possible. Balls are loaded one at a time once a penny is inserted. The bakelite knob on the front of the machine alternately raises and lowers the green and blue sections, moving the ball further up the hill. Unless of course you allow it to slip out one of the side chutes before reaching the top. The higher you can get the ball, the higher the score. Scoring is determined by adding up the values shown in the windows to the left and right of the instruction card. A gumball was also dispensed on each play of the machine from the small door on the lower left. Fun and addicting little machine.
