The Story Castle

You may recognize this sparkly castle as it was shown on an episode of American Pickers and it caught Danielle's eye and heart! This is The Story Castle a coin-op made by Telmed Inc. out of New Orleans, LA. The Story Castles were produced in 1975 and would have been found at local malls and play areas. All you had to do was drop a quarter into the smiley face, pick up the phone receiver, and listen. Each receiver told a different story with a moral. Standing approx. 9" tall, the castle lights up and comes with the 3 original flags that sit atop the turrets.  Unfortunately, the cassette player & cassettes were lost in shipping but can be found for sale online.  This unique piece is sold exclusively at our LeClaire Iowa retail storefront.  For inquiries on purchasing this piece, please contact Sarah at sarah.elizabeth@antiquearchaeology.com please included your name, phone number, and email address and a member of our team will get back to you shortly.
