DESCRIPTION
Vintage 1940’s trade stimulator penny slot gumball machine. Made by the Davel manufacturing company in 1940 the CUB trade stimulator was one of the smallest slot machines ever made. It displayed graphics of cigarette packs on the reels but officially dispensed gum to the lucky winner. The cigarette packs advertised on this tabletop slot machine are Lucky Strike, Camel ,Chesterfield and Pall Mall. It appears to be missing a fold down metal display chart which hinged on top which was meant to disguise the fact that it was in essence a gambling device.
There are two part numbers embossed into the inside of this 1 cent machine, C 6 005 and on the bottom 47004. The Cub stimulator has its keys which open the back and the front to retrieve the cash. Not only is this gumball machine a rare survivor of gambling history and a great addition to your penny slot trade simulator collection but it can still be used as a simple form of entertainment.
MEASUREMENTS
Slot machine measures 5“ wide by 5.5“ deep by 6.5“ tall and weighs almost 5 lbs.
CONDITION
In good working condition with signs of use commensurate with age, scuffs and paint loss. It may be missing an advertising piece from the top (please see all pictures as they form part of the condition description).
