A few fantastic arcade games from the near mythical Apothecary Arcade in London from the late 1800s!..... a wonderful and whimsical arcade full of mechanical marvels that would allow you to win prizes of various solvents, potions, tonics, and unguents.... such as laudanum and cocaine, or even a hair tonic that would supposedly grow your hair back! from the top: the top two are Taxidermist 1 and Taxidermist 2, whereupon you have to use the machine to perform taxidermy on various dead animals to win various prizes; the third one down is actually a medicinal vending machine, not a game per say; and the last one is a game called 'Soda Jerk' where you have to complete various recipes within time limits to advance to the next stage!.....the arcade burned down in an all consuming fire in 1904 but at least we have these photos...........
