I saw this on eBay and couldn't resist buying it again. I have one in my permanent collection of over 50 gambling supply catalogs. I thought I was doing someone a favor yesterday when I offered it here for $130. Well, this is the last offer -- $100 delivered. The catalog is not only extremely detailed/informative, it is also quite rare. They show up on eBay every other year or so.
This is an old H. C. Evans & Company catalog from 1929. This company was established in 1892 and was the world's largest supplier of casino supplies, trade stimulators, carnival supplies, shooting galleries, etc.
This catalog lists hundreds of items for casinos, amusement parks, carnivals, fairs, and shooting galleries such as dice, poker cards and chips, game tables, raffle wheels, targets, and much more.
The catalog measures about 8.75 inches by 6 inches and has 160 pages. There is a V shaped tear on the cover and through page 10, though the tear does not interfere with any of the text! Binding is tight. No loose, missing, torn or written on pages. The catalog retains the original envelope and blank order form.
