Countertop roulette-style trade stimulator. Michigan: H. Vantongeren, [ca. 1900s]. Wooden cabinet with glass front and rear, with printed instructions and wheel; when a coin is dropped in the above slot, it is caught in a cavity on the wheel, which causes it to spin, landing on a prize window. ?No Blanks. Smoke ?Star Green? Every Puff a Happy Thought Every Nickle Gets One or More? (presumably a cigar or cigarette made by ?Star Green?). With keys to locking side door where one can retrieve coins. Approximately 12 ? x 5 x 16 ??. Some wear, soiling. Still, a very good example of this rare and unusual trade stimulator in working order.
