Minneapolis,MN - Hennepin County - c1930 - Vintage Cigarette Punch Board :
Vintage Cigarette Punch board c. 1930. This gaming board measures 8.5” x 9.5”x ½”, has 10 sections, 1000 holes and is in good condition with minimal wear on the sides and edges. Each section is colored either red, blue, or yellow. Cigarette Punch Boards were popular between 1910 and WWII, at which time many states deemed them illegal. A punch board like this would consist of numerous colored boxes. The player would punch a hole in each section with a nail or sharp object. Each hole would have a slip of paper with a number. If the number corresponded to one of the board's winning numbers the player would receive the appropriate amount of cigarettes.
