One Lung Bandit: Vintage Cigarette Slot Machine

Popeye will trade you spinach for another chance at them Luckies.

We spotted this in an antique shop north of Ukiah, CA. Manufactured by O.D. Jennings & Co., this Cigarette Slot Machine gave you the option of buying the smokes you want or actually gambling for them. You know there’s a sweet smoking = gambling with your life pun in there, but I’m not touchin’ it.

Too bad you couldn’t win any Shark Toof Cigarettes. Though the Wings look pretty rad.
