Seeburg Dog Race Greyhound Piano Nickelodeon Orchestrion Professionally Restored #166266
Offered today is an extremely rare and desireable machine known as The Seeburg Dog Race or The Seeburg Greyhound player piano with dog race gambling mechanism. It is also known as a Seeburg Greyhound Nickelodeon. The Seeburg Piano Co. began producing these machines in 1928. It is believed that fewer than one dozen of these machines exist today. The beautiful cabinetry is made from quarter-sawn tiger oak. This rare machine just underwent a complete professional restoration and is ready to be enjoyed by it’s new owner. Serial # is 166266. These are extremely rare and seldom become available to the public. The keyboardless Seeburg Greyhound machine include a dog racing mechanism in the top part of the cabinet. When a patron deposits a coin, the tune starts. The animals spin around and come to rest, encouraging bystanders to gamble on which one will win. The losing bettor was a candidate to drop the next nickel into the piano or, more likely, to buy the next set of drinks. These were especially popular in Speakeasys during Prohibition times. Among fans of this type of machine, this is literally “the Holy Grail” of collecting. A very rare buying opportunity indeed. Winning bidder to pay all shipping costs. Local pickup is preferred but this item can be shipped within the Continental US using a reliable motor freight company. The seller is willing to assist in the arrangements for shipping. Don’t blow this opportunity. A serious machine for a serious bidder.
