Stamp/slot machine. American, 1965. An ingenious way of hiding a gambling device in plain sight, this machine was used to sell slot tickets. The gambler would push one lever ostensibly to buy a stamp, but would instead purchase a ticket. The printing on the ticket determined the player's payout. Recovered from a raid on a drugstore in Arkansas. 8 x 11 x 23". Good condition.
