What is a punchboard you ask? Well, it's part slot machine and part scratch off ticket. Punchboards were used in general stores and taverns from the early 1900's. Punchboards are considered gambling devices and viewed as a precursor to modern-day pull-tabs. Players paid for a chance to take a punch at the board and see if they could win money or a prize. This board is 5 7/8" x 8 3/4" x 7/8" thick. The board is intact with punch key still sealed in the back. This punchboard is in a slot machine format with winners for matching fruits and bars. Each winner received $5.00 (In Trade - written in felt pen). This punchboard has outstanding graphics and would make a great display piece.
