Punchboards,
AKA; Punch Boards, Novelty Trade
Boards, or Salesboards were
gambling devices that were used in bars,
country and five-and-dime stores. This
baseball player themed "DIAMOND DUST"
Punchboard features blue-toned

Score, Duke Snider, Robin Roberts,
Billy Martin, Wally Moon, Ken Boyer,
Ernie Banks, Harvey Kuenn, Ricky
Ashburn, Pete Runnells, Jim Piersall
and Frank Thomas.
This punchboard is designed with 600 small paper-filled holes. Customers
could pay five cents for a chance to
use a metal stylus (or "puncher" witch
is found on the back) on hopes of
finding one of 19 numbered pieces of
paper corresponding to one of the $1.00
monetary prizes listed at the top.
There are four sections and the "LAST

The operator of the Punchboard takes in

reads "FIND YOUR PUNCHER HERE" A Take
in and Payout sticker, and a factory
stamp featuring manufacture
information, Size (number of holes)
Color (paper inside) Serial Number,

Salesboards were advertised by a number
of novelty companies troughout the
1930's-1950's, including "The World's
Largest Novelty House," N. Shure
Co. of Chicago. The boards were offered
to the "Operators" for about .56 cents
in the 1930s-1940's and by 1950 .85
cents.
