Original 1906 Caille Bros. Banker model cigar trade stimulator. Oak case, nickeled hardware and lithographed wheels are all in very good overall condition. However, the wooden backboard is missing, the token access cover needs repair and lacking its key, and the interior mechanism is currently not working and may need parts. This machine was designed with a slot that takes a token smaller than a dime (a trade token that would've been supplied by the pub owner). This machine is being sold "as is" and in need of restoration. These early wooden cased examples are desirable just for parts, although this piece displays very well in its current condition. These models can sell in the $2,000 range when in good working order.
