1904 Mills 1 Cent Commercial Cigar Trade Stimulator from Alaska

This 1904 1 Cent Mills Commercial Cast iron countertop flip card machine is in original condition with mirrored top marquee showing FREE CIGARS. This machine was a staple in nearly every Cigar Shop, Soda Pop Store, Drug Store, Restaurant and many more places. It was well known that Al Capone and his outfit used the Mills Commercial in stores around Chicago and all around the world! This machine gives the player a chance to win cigars if he gets a winning poker hand.

The better the hand the more cigars. The term Close but no cigar! Comes from this machine and other trade stimulators like it.

Coincidentally, the Mills Factory and home office moved from San Francisco after the great Fire earlier in the century, and relocated to Chicago. Anyway back to the info...

In working order, each nickel inserted gives the player a single turn of the cards. Cabinet shows some wear to the original finish.
