| | | | The picture below shows larger front and back views of this Old Keiler Pokerette Pocket Poker Gambling Card Game. The game is not dated but is believed to be from the 1950s. It resembles machines that were used in old bar room, saloon, or cigar stores. It operates like one of the old trade stimulator or gambling machines, but this one is small enough to fit in any pocket. There is a colorful lithographed tin wheel and five metal balls sealed under a clear plastic section. To operate it the blue button on the side is pressed and the wheel spins. The bumps along the side make the balls bounce around inside. The spring loaded button then stops after a few seconds with the balls falling in the numbered holes giving you a five card poker hand for others to beat. It was most likely used for illegal gambling in its day. It still works perfectly. The bottom red hard plastic section is marked as follows: KEILER CORP.
MADE IN U.S.A.
PAT. PEND. Not counting the protruding button the game measures 2'' wide. It appears to be in excellent condition with only very light wear from use. |
