Colby Specialty Supply Co. manufactured this combination lung tester and dice machine in 1901. Lung testers were outlawed in New York shortly thereafter, in 1906, due to the spreading of disease. It offered players the chance to test their lung strength by blowing into the mouthpiece, as well as the opportunity to win cigars by shaking the dice. Two different coin entries depending on what component of the machine the patron wanted to try. A great aged look to the cabinet and original aged patina to the castings and original lung tester tube. A wonderful example of this difficult machine to find. With keys.
Condition: (Very Good).
Item Dimensions: 17 - 1/2" x 11 - 1/2" x 7 - 1/2".
