captionPIC FROM Caters News - (PICTURED: Laughing sailor machine) - A 120-year-old arcade horse racing game has been unearthed among a collection of 90 vintage games and vending machines. The mechanical Victorian amusement, which cost one penny to play, features two horses which players race against each other by turning a handled. It was found among a large number of old machines that a private collector had gathered over the years and is expected to fetch up to 10,000 at auction. Other interesting items include early Nestle, Kit Kat and Polo vending machines and a laughing sailor machine, which carries an estimate of 1,000. The collector, originally from Essex, has decided to sell the collection at Chelmsford auctioneers Reeman Dansie. SEE CATERS COPY
