This was one of the machines on the Sunbeam Stand at the 1924 Olympia Show. It was sold by Graham Walker, then competitions manager of John Marston Limited, to a schoolmaster whom he was destined never again to meet.
When the schoolmaster died, Graham Walker was astonished to learn that this machine along with several others had been willed to him.
It was restored by Mr H.O. Twitchen.
