There are numerous ads that have survived advertising 50 cent Rol-A-Tops for sale, below are a few.
As for the converted English penny Rol-A-Top, I myself have never seen one in all my years of collecting. Every 50 cent RAT I have seen has been original. If anyone has a photo or owns an English penny RAT, if you could please post a photo, I would appreciate it. I have seen numerous English Mills machines, goosenecks, war eagles, roman heads, Jennings machines etc. but not a Rol-A-Top. In fact I am trying to recall any English penny Watling machines and can't off hand think of one. As far as the part found in the cabinet, I don't recognize it.
