Vintage 'Sands' Casino Dice

I like Dice. Especially the ones that are of clear material; clear, red material!

Got these at an Estate sale. They were bagged, all for a dollar!! Various Printed Sands Logos and a Curtis!  (...?)

Vintage Mille Bornes Card Game

Where: Lincoln Park, NJ Town-wide sale.
Paid: $2.oo

Great French Card Game From Parker Brothers, your favorite time-absorbing game company.  In perfect shape, with all box candy. The artwork is definitely 1960's.  Great strategy game where you need to achieve a certain length of a car trip, while slapping your opponent with Accidents, Flat Tires, Speed Limits and other dilemmas.



 


Duck beats Snail....

Crevé!

Main Feature Jackpot Detail
1974 Nishijin Model B Pachinko Machine

Where purchased: Hoboken NJ, May 2012
Paid: $40 (talked down from $100)

Some menacing Brass pins
Remember 'Plinko?' The Price is Right sub-game where you dropped a dollar sign disc down the board with the metal pins, and it dropped into the $0 slot at the bottom? well Here's the inspiration...
The Best Game you ever played
"Deluxe Super!!"
Super cool, super fun Vintage Game. I noticed it from the back as we were walking up the block during the Hoboken City-wide garage sale. I haggled for the life of me, mentioning about the expense for buying new balls, no key for the front (although you don't really need one...) and overall condition. I carried this about 3/4 mile home that day.  And this thing is heavy.  I found some jammed pachinko balls, ordered 500 new balls from a sniped eBay auction for $28.  Cleaned her up, polished the metal, setup the plug for the jackpot and ball-out tray lights, and we were well on our way to hours of clacking, ding-dinging fun. It's a game of subtle pressure, and you want to aim for the payoff pockets, tulips, and the main feature jackpot in the middle (which just pays off the same amount) Start with 50 balls and see how much you can score.   My current high score is 222...
