  • Most "Mutoscope" subjects [silent film excerpts, sporting events, comedy sequences, et. al.] cost a penny to see. However, in the case of more "adult" subjects {including "The Boxing Beauties", first issued during the 1920's, seen here}, it wasn't uncommon to pay a nickel to view those...

  • The International Mutoscope Reel Co. officially went out of business in 1949, even though its parent company, International Mutoscope Co., continued to manufacture other "penny arcade" devices, including the "Voice-O-Graph" recording booths (and discs), and several models of "fortune telling" machines as well.
