OK, here we go, with lotsa-pix, and a bit-o history. The beginings of these small size counter dicers seems to have begun with National Coin Machine in 1934. There were dozens of different models made by several manufacturers, in wood, pressed steel, and aluminum cases.
Although the greatest numbers that now show up, are that of the Quality Supply Co., they are not the originators. They were the ‘copy-cats’ of this style. The first of these models, seems to have been the N.C.M. “Hazard”, in
a wood case. Quality Supply also produced a “Hazard” in the start of their one-piece cast aluminum cases in the late 1940’s. Some of the machine names by the earlier mfrs., in no particular order, are “The Master”, “Lucky Star”,
“Trade King”, “Kalamazoo”, “Kazoo”, “Kazoo-Zoo”, “Seven Come Eleven”, “Even Up”, “Ye-Elfe”, and many others that escape me at this moment. There was also a later electric model, in a wood case, by an unknown mfr., called
“Dicelite”, which pluged into 110, and you would match the dice to the lit colored circle on the top glass. There were probably other variations of this model, but I have yet to see additional examples. If anyone has one, we would
all like to see it.
The above three examples, are all that could be posted, because of size. Therefore I will have to break the additional pix up with seperate posts.
Dave had reset the file size, awhile back, to handle larger numbers, but I guess it changed back on it's own.


- Presto Dicer (just added)
This shot of the "Presto", is one that I was unable to load originally.
