He was a comedian back in the 1950s that would appear on various variety shows. Cool piece!
Does smoke still come out of his ears? It used to do this when new.
No smoke--just a little light "bzzzz" He has a "buzz on" (couldn't resist it, ooops)
Wooo!! Had a similar bar tender automat when a child in the 60', it was japanese!
Had too piggy cook, with his hopping egg :-)

My bar tender was in fact a drinker who poured his cocktail in a martini glass and drank it, no saké, only made in japan.
Ooooh when I see your, I miss them (and This part of my childhood!).
NOW we know who to blame!!! hahaha Just kidding!
Saw one of these at a Goodwill but it was in very bad condition. Almost grabbed it but Didn't think I could make the necessary repairs,but it was a nice reminder of days gone by. Fun videos online of Charley Weaver having a drink.
