for sale c.1930s Hunts Co,Chicago,gamb. supply catalog

I just bought this neat gambling catalog, but now realize that I already own the exact same catalog, so you can have this one for what I paid: $29 plus $4 shipping = $33.00 total. Hunt and Co was a leading Chicago gambling supply outfit for many years.

It's 4.5" x 6", 64 pages, quite good condition (for example, all the pages are intact and firmly in place), virtually all gambling supply items -- honest and crooked -- lots of pictures--covers everything: 8 pages on chips and tokens (monarch mold, chain mold exclusive of Hunt and Co.), dice, playing cards, punch boards, gambling table games furniture and layouts, small gambling devices. Only some 5 pages on watches, shavers, cameras. I'm sorry that I don't have pictures of the cool old gambling equipment and chips, but trust me, they are there. Return privileges. On returns, I'd pay postage both ways since no one will return this!





I figure it is from about the 1930's due to the 6-digit phone number on the cover (Fr 2786) and the lack of a postal zone (like Chicago 17, Illinois, for example). Postal zones were introduced in large cities in 1943.
