According to German Wikipedia, the machine was destroyed in 1929. No further evidence for PD-old. ChrisiPK (Talk|Contribs) 16:16, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Comment: Possibly {{Anonymous-EU}}. Sv1xv (talk) 16:19, 4 May 2009 (UTC)- Comment: As the original uploader, I got the information from Jay's Journal of Anomalies, an independent publication in the US. That's where I believe II got the information regarding Ajeeb's destruction. I do not own the book, but this ChessBase piece that uses the image notes the display of Ajeeb at Coney Island from 1894-1904, which is more than likely where this color advertisement came from. Sorry I can't help more at this point - I'm not really a contributor to the project anymore, but I got the e-mail alert and figured I'd offer my information.

Keep "In 1885 Ajeeb was sold to Emma, Hadders who operated the dummy until 1915, when the Eden Musee closed its doors." (source) So this must be {{PD-1923}}. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 20:09, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
