Rydberg & Co. Gaffed Faro Dealing Box. Chicago, ca. 1900. Two card side-squeeze nickel-plated faro dealing box. Gaff is activated as a right-side squeeze that increases the width of the slit through which the cards slide. The box can be locked up to a straight box (if anyone becomes suspicious and wants to examine it) by pushing the right side ring plate forward. The lid has been partially removed, exposing some of the gaffing, itself not functional.
