Mutoscope "CHAMPION" Electric Traveling Crane circa. 1932-33

 



 

This is a very early Mutoscope Electric Traveling Crane in solid oak-wood cabinetry.  It has been restored in fine detail, including the B&W photograph used in the background which pictures the construction of the Empire State Building in New York City; home of the Mutoscope offices and factories.  A "Mutoscope" blimp floats in the sky above.  The evolution of Mutoscope's Electric Traveling Crane games to their eventual high-deco style started with this model  .
