2. over many years I was able to acquire a nice collection of these and they were fun displayed together or alone

3.to my non collector friends visiting these always seemed to be one of the first things they picked up and asked about

4.it is a dice shaker but often called a trade stimulator where the customer rolled against the bartender for drinks, etc.

5.obviously they could be used for straight out gambling like craps, \"ship captain & crew\", high hand, etc. and often were

6.there are many different styles and sizes of these dice shakers but this one is 8\" tall with a tapered brass base

7.it was made by \"Wolf & Company\" makers primarily of advertising items but they also made a few gambling things

8. if you look close in the 3rd photo you can read there name

9. no cracks orbreaksin the glass or the base

10.the full extent of my knowledge onthishas been stated & have no more to relate

11.packed with great care & excess materialsas nobody likes filing damage claims

12. no high uninformedridiculous starting offer like many sellers do to reinforce false valueas this an sale, not a museum

below are answers to questions many have so please read before contacting:

We combine items to save buyers money on shipping costs

Our goal is to get any win or wins to the buyer at the least expensive cost possible

Cash, checks, MOs, and PayPal are accepted forms of payment

We will consider a \"Buy it Now\" to change the sale to thatif your offer is strong, fair, and not insulting

Any extra overcharge for shipping is refunded to the buyer after any wins leave & we know the exact cost of theshipping

Any underchargestated for shipping is our responsibility and we will pay any additional costout of our pocket

All old mechanical items are legally notarized by a Notary Public to function when we send and the Notary Publicobserves ussealing up the box.

Old items arejust that& past the day they arrive, there is no guarantee they run forever. We are not selling refrigerators ordishwasherswith a multiple year warrantee.

All items leaving the U.S.A. must be insured

Cost to ship outside the continental U.S. is not known until after sales end & we know how much to insure for

We quote shipping costs, not so pay no attention if gives youa ridiculous costwhich is incorrect moreoften than not & almost higher than it should be

All items going to Hawaii or Alaska are sent Priority mail because there are no cheaper methods

If we have accidently described something incorrectly, refunds are given but not because you changed your mind, found one cheaper, or it doesn\'t fit your décor

There are those that abuse things and so we checked the \"no\" option but again, refunds are given if we are in error

says \"you are covered by the Money Back Guarantee if you received an item that is not as described in the listing\" so make sure that is so if you desire a refund.

Regardless of \'s sick thinking, I have better things to dothan box upitems& send on approvalfor you to see if it matches your curtains or for you to attempt toresell for profit

This an sale and not Nordstrom\'s or Macy\'swith a return counter for old ladies who can\'t make up their minds. But again, if I haveerrored I\'m more than happy to issue a refund

If you item doesn\'t work upon arrival or is damaged, save all packing materials and please contact the shipper that day to file a claim.

No charge for packing materials, extra fees, commissions, or hidden labor costs to pad the sale for extra profit like many sellers on do

We try to be honest and fair with buyers and we expect you to do the same
