1¢ DECATUR “FAIREST WHEEL” TRADE

A late 19th century cigar trade stimulator that turned into a money making gold mine for the operator/proprietor of the store. Virtually nothing mechanical could go wrong with these simplistic machines, yet the patrons coming in to purchase a cigar were always guaranteed at least one if not two or more cigars for taking a chance and dropping a coin in the slot. With a patent date of 1895, this machine is in very fine original condition. Simplistic yet still a very visually appealing machine! Condition: (Very Good). Dimensions: 20 - 3/4" x 14" x 5 - 1/4".
