Offered here is a marvelous coin-operated machine in exemplary condition. Cast iron front reads "Official Sweepstakes," includes the original paper sign in black with multicolor dial to "Pick A Winner." Stained wood case with additional paper "Rules" sign at top. Best of all is the playing face, a stream of horses numbered one to eight each in a different color revolve around a track and your job is to set the dial to "Pick A Winner." Your penny goes to a slot with the number you picked and you can see it sitting in its place through glass windows in back. Panoramic scene across the back of the field shows a wonderful scene of old race tracks. No key, but works flawlessly. Measures 15" x 12" x 13".
