Looking for any info on this claw digger machine . Would really like to find and speak with someone who owns one of these .
It’s a Norwat digger beleived to be produced around 1926 by Alfred Norwat. If anyone knows of an example of the machine and could share info on it , it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Your Steam Digger was made in Brooklyn by Nowat Amusement Devices in 1932, according to an add in Automatic Age.

Thanks Freddy

I have also found some info that dates the Norwat to 1926 . I believe it was patented in 1926 . This particular cabinet may well be a 1932
Really wish I could find another collector that is familiar with these .
To bad there is not digger collector forum .
