± Penny-in-the-slot Test Your Strength machine. An early 20th Century wooden 'Test Your Strength machine' by Mills with a Ruffler & Walker strength force-meter, H 192cm. Please note that all lots in this auction from Flambards are subject to an additional standard rated VAT charge of 20% on the hammer price This item was from Flambards, the iconic Cornish institution which sadly closed its doors in November 2024. Lays Auctioneers proudly hosted the contents sale back in March 2025, and unexpectedly have some final lots for sale in this antiques sale. A wonderful last chance opportunity to own a piece of local history. The machine is operated by an old penny but we have not been able to test it to ascertain whether it is currently working. The internal mechanism looks to be in very good condition.
