Item Description
7x20" base, 17.5" high pressed steel 6 volt battery-operated (battery included) machine. This machine came in various formats over the years, w/a 1950s variety sold as the "Booze Barometer." This is an early 1960s version w/5¢ play (later models were 10¢ play). Operation of machine is based on same concept as the game "Operation" - a screwdriver handle grip has a metal loop attached to wind through convoluted small dia. aluminum tubing. If tubing is touched by loop at any time, lights flash and bell rings. Sobriety levels read - "DT's, Bombed, Stinko, Don't Drive, No Pain, Social Drink, One Drink, Saint, Very Good, Steel Nerves." Front features repeated image (in slightly different sizes) of classic drunk character holding onto lightpost. Back has metal loop for placement of small padlock (not included). It is working and lights up. Scattered general lt. wear w/a few small scratches at top center of main plate, not offensive. Fine/VF overall.
