Title: Imp trade simulator
Post by: ddstoys on May 19, 2014, 09:40:34 PM
Well was a good surprise to arrive today on my birthday was definitely a highlight.     Something old and unique to add to my shed.

     Big thanks to Jason for letting this go.

I'm glad that last shot had the instructions Daniel because I had no idea what that was. Looks very cool though, how old is it? Interesting that it couldn't be used by minors, any idea what the story is behind that?

This was sold by a friend of mine

The reason for "positively no sales to minors" was because that machine was essentially an illegal poker machine pretending to be a gumball machine to avoid police detection.  %.%


Imagine how expensive a gumball would have been in the 1930's @ 1 cent each?
The person playing the machine would have been paying 1 cent not for the gumball but to win a cigar or two.  ^^^
