Catalog Description:

Gamblers Clock. We have had a half dozen or so of the gambler clocks over the years. The company that put the coin mechanisms in them bought cases from a number of companies and converted them to the Gambler's Clock. This one is a Sessions Clock Co. black enameled wood case, possibly the "Daisy" model, ca 1908. They removed the cast metal trimmings or bought direct from the factory without the trimmings. All models I have seen were in a no frills, black case. This one is different from others in the way coins are kept or returned. I tried several coins and the clock kept about 4 of every 5 coins.
