Hehe, and you did so great with the challenge, I was very impressed. Side note, I learned last night that camels originated in Canada. Wrap your brain around that one. 😜
Patrick, this was great! Yes, I would like to see more Vintage Games on your channel. Can you please tell me how they used to play the Punch Board Games? I bought the 1940’s Football Punchboard Game from you.
I can’t remember that particular style one, other than the theme, but usually the idea was you paid to get “a pinch”. Maybe a penny. Maybe a nickel. Then you punched out your selection. On the back of the card style like you have or inside the thicker ones there would be a message. If you pulled the winning tags you would get something. A cigar. Box of chocolate. If yours was blank you got nothing. So it was kind of like a raffle. You were getting a chance for something. Some of the bigger boards would be divided into sections and you might get a prize automatically if you pulled the last option in that section. To encourage people to play multiples. My favorite are the candy ones where “everyone is a winner”. For those you basically were paying for a penny candy or maybe a cigar and you’d be paying pretty much the going rate. But on those EVERY tab gets you something. If you didn’t have a special tab, you’d at least get your piece of candy. But you might pull the tab to win two pieces or ten pieces. So it was still kind of a game of chance but you were guaranteed something. Because it was considered gambling in some states they were actually illegal and there’s a subset of collecting where the boards were hidden in boxes or similar so that if the feds showed up you closed it and it looked like just a box.
@@TrustyHucksterMercantile Patrick, thank you for the information on how to play the punch board games. I have a small collection of the paper Racehorse games, whereby it lists the different famous race horses. You would then dip the paper into your drink up to the water line, and it would tell you which horse won the race. I think these were given out in bars circa 1930-40’s.
That was awesome
Thanks for watching
Yes...more games. And more playtime!!👍
I’ll see if I can get a video play of longer than 40 seconds 😂. Thanks for watching

I didn’t know that! I guess I assumed they were from a desert region. Thanks for watching 👍
