Description

The Mercury 1c Trade Stimulator Circa 1930 Cigarette Reels are a rare and collectible piece of American history. This gum dispenser from the 1930s was used in casino settings to dispense cigarettes as part of a trade stimulator game. Its vintage design and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection focused on casino memorabilia or trade stimulator devices. Made in the United States, this piece represents a unique and nostalgic piece of Americana from the early 20th century.

Manufactured by the Groetchen Tool & MFG Co in the 1940s, this piece was used as an early gambling device and was designed to get around the "no gambling" laws. It is in working condition. Place your penny in and pull the lever down to try and match three identical cigarette brands. If you were to hit 3 of the same it would dispense a token to present the owner and win your free pack of cigarettes.

It measures 10.5" tall, 10" wide and 10.5" in depth.

Business since 1979
