20 OUTCOMES MECHANICALGAMBLING DEVICE

 This is a pocket watch size gambling devicethat appears to be a standard size pocket watch with a dial but with a singlehand, a stem, and a watch chain top ring. These devices are made with differentfaces for different gambling games. However, all are designed as a pocketgambling piece for a Sporting Gent or Lady to offer a spontaneous game ofchance to his / her companion(s) anytime, anywhere, such as at a gambling hall,barroom, saloon or tavern, casino, leisure, or sporting event, perhaps for adrink or round of drinks.

The dial face appears to be a typicalwatch face, but upon close inspection is a clear coating over a printedbackground. The domed watch crown is clear plastic with naturally occurring lightsurface scratches from pocket wear. The multicolored watch face has thedesirous old-style roulette wheel with 20 pie shaped segments: each with a US$ numericalaward winner and one instant cash winner with $ awards ranging from $10 to$1,000. The outside segmented border has thin red and black panels for anaddition double up red or double up black betting. With multiple players, eachone would get to spin the hand and the highest $ wins, with a tie requiring arunoff. If there was an initial additional bet using the double up red or blackpayout segments, the $ payout could be doubled depending on if the  pointer also landed in the designated red orblack border bet. This device could also be used with a small portable feltroulette layout for multiple bettors. These devices vary slightly in features,and most have a very simple in design and application, i.e., you wind the stem,and the single hand rotates and will stop on its own, with revolution speed andthe number of full dial spins depending on how many times you wind the stem.The hand begins to turn as soon as the stem is wound, and usually a couple ofturns will make the hand rotate a couple of times. The more you wind the stem,the faster it rotates and the longer the time until the hand comes to rest forthe results. The stem can be wound several times (2 - 4 is fine); anymore andyou could possibly overwind the spring. Some of these pieces have slightlydifferent mechanisms affected by the stem. This piece has a stem that whenpushed will stop the moving hand; when released, the hand resumes rotating.

These devices were mostly made inGermany, and I believe date to around the 1950’s – 60’s. Overall in finecondition. The base metal is usually plain and nickel-plated brass or steel withaverage pocket wear surface scratches. The top rotating attachment ring isdesigned to attach to a watch chain. Pocket watch size weighing 2.1 ounces or61 grams, 2” in diameter x 1/2” thick.
