Before there were scratch-offs, there were punchboards: small cards that sat on store and tavern counters, where a customer paid a penny or two to push out a disc and see what they\'d won. This Acme \"Try Your Luck\" board is the candy version, with a full 1 lb box of Home Style cherries as the prize. It is a fun piece of countertop advertising and gaming history for punchboard and trade-stimulator collectors, and it looks great in a game room, a bar, or a vintage-store display.
Printed with the Acme Novelty & Mfg Co., Chicago, name. There are 24 punches in three rows of eight, each labeled with a girl\'s name, priced from 1
cent to 39 cents a punch. The card is printed paperboard with a plain brown cardboard back, wrapped in clear plastic.
Condition: Bright, colorful printing and all 24 punch discs intact and unpunched. The clear shrink wrap is creased, and there is light toning at the card edges. See photos.
