Punchboards,
AKA; Punch Boards, Novelty Trade
Boards, or Sales-boards, were
gambling devices which were
commonly used in bars,
or country and five-and-dime stores as
a trade stimulator. In 1939, the
Hamilton MFG Co., of Minneapolis,
Minnesota, produced the
Baseball's 100th Anniversary punch
board. The company founded in 1880, by
J.E. Hamilton, became the largest
manufacturer of wood type in the United
States. The company grew and expanded
its product line to include type
cabinets and other furniture useful in
the press room, then to furniture for
dental and medical offices, drafting
tables and furnishings.
