Looking in my illustrated guide to trade stimulators volume 1
by Dick Burschel page 67 Fey Sill Draw .
It shows an illustration of this machine .
So not sure why you say it is exhibit supply ?
On another note . Have you made the award card for the dial clock machine we spoke about several months back yet ? Could sure use that award card for a machine I am working on .

I am at our other house at present, and do not have a copy of Trade 1 here to look at.
If the one on page 67, of Trade 1, looks exactly like yours, it is an Exhibit also. There
are several machines in that volume, that do not have the correct mfr. or name.
Although Trade 2 was later revised, and had many machines corrected, Trade 1 was
never redone the way we had it planned, as the lawsuit with Hoflin was going on at
the time, for a year and a half. When that was over, Dick decided to temporarily park
it, to work on the hardbound full-color book, "Guide to Vintage Trade Stimulators &
Counter Games". If you look on page 84 of this book, You will see the Fey "Skill Draw"
Style 1, (in the square case), then Fey Style 2, and the Exhibit, (like yours) to the right.
The "Play and Draw" at the top of that page, which was the leader of all the Fey models,
has the wrong year. It should be 1932 to 1934 production, as it was thoroughly picked
apart by Bueschel, Marsh Fey, and myself, which we believed to be a prototype at the
time, although not carved in stone. Guess we will never know for sure?
There are four different styles of Fey models, before Exhibit Supply took over the line.
Exhibit also made slight changes in theirs, as well as a couple of other mfrs. that made
their own Exhibit style copies, as well as other versions.
The two shown below, are Fey Style 2 and 3. You can clearly see the difference between
these, and the later Exhibit models.
- Fey "Skill Draw" Style 2
- Fey "Skill Draw" Style 3
