I just bought a very similar catalog, not realizing that I had owned this one, which I bought in 1999 for $32! Hunt was a fairly large gambling supply outfit in Chicago. They owned the chain rim mold, seen on some of the pictures below. Besides all kinds of gambling equipment (much of it dishonest, as seen in the catalog), they were big in embossed tokens, punch boards and tip books and pull tabs. Lots of novelty and magic ads. The most mentioned stuff in the catalog are crooked dice and playing cards.
