Here's a bizarre little find from the Musee Mechanique in San Francisco. If you've never been, go - it's an entire museum of antique slot machines, automated carnival attractions, and vintage arcade games, all of which are in mint condition and functional. You can actually use and play with everything.

The hand-crocheted sweaters, however? Not original. It's hard to imagine why they were ever made.
