Vintage Vegas coin cups to hold your nickles, dimes and quarters (oh my!) were once made of paper and the size of a regular drinking cup. These were meant to be used to tote your winnings around the casino in order to feed them back into another one armed bandit then be tossed into the trash on your way out of town.
Gambling memorabilia is another high interest subject in vintage collecting. This category covers everything from antique Wheel of Fortune games dating back hundreds of years up to and including these paper coin cups from the mid 20th century.

Very interesting. I suppose they might have made a good container for keeping whatever one brought home from the casino too.

That is such a fun treasure. I remember my first trip to a casino only the cups there were much larger, more like what KFC chicken comes in.

Thanks for your visit. Your choice for G is quite interesting! I know a few collectors. But their collections are so extensive that they have hardly enough room for all the things of their collections. They organize shows several times a year and then everybody can fully enjoy their exhibitions.
Have a great week!

It would be fun to collect these, i’ve have to limit my collections though. Don’t know if I can fit it all in the walls.

Thanks Tom, I am taking that as a good sign since I’m headed to a once a year Antique Auto swap this weekend!

It is funny how just anything can become a treasure. Hopefully this one went home full.

I am sure it did, it once belonged to my Father-in-law!

It seems to be in good shape considering the fact that it is made from paper!
