Who knows about old punch boards?

I'm sure someone posted pics of some old punchboards a few months back.

I remember that there used to be one at one of the village shops when I was a child and hadn't seen one here (in the UK) for many years until today when I visited a car boot sale (do you have those in the US? Kind of like a yard sale, but everyone packs stuff into their cars and all go to a single site to sell). Anyway, I found this one from the UK which I think will look neat on the wall in my small office. I wonder if anyone has any others from the UK. This one is complete and unused, and the punch key is still attached at the back ready to use!

I'm also curious about one of the prizes - "last sale on the board wins £2". Wouldn't the shop keeper just not sell the last one when it is a guaranteed 20/1 winner? I am probably missing something here, but it does sound strange to me!

Enjoy

Jason
