Old-Time Gambling Machines Exhibit at SFO











What a fun surprise!
A collection of turn-of-the-century mechanical gambling contraptions is on display at the San Francisco airport. Most are wood, others are cast iron, polished aluminum, or decoratively painted. ...Very quirky and beautiful! High-tech back then looks so handmade now.
In these photos: a dice machine and two versions of 'wheel of fortune.'
