Tap image to advance
Here we have a rare 1897 Drobisch Bros. Cigar Store Trade Stimulator. It was made by Drobisch Brothers & Co. of Decatur, IL. It is in working order, drop a coin in the top slot and the pointer spins. "TRY OUR CHOICE CIGARS - WE HANDLE THE BEST". You always get one, sometimes more, if you hit the 2 or 3 you would get additional cigars. There is a glass window on the back that shows the last coin played to be sure the customer used a nickel. There is a lever to remove that coin. Below that window there is the cash door. It measures 18" tall x 13 1/8" wide x 6 1/4" deep.
