    Looks like a parts order for a bingo machine.

    I love the mental picture of someone sitting at a desk all day typing these, and the mailing labels.

    Good addition.............. The " good old days", when a Dollar was worth a Dollar.
    When the Federal Reserve prints money.......... they devalue the Dollar. Our dollar is
    probably worth about $.10 today.

    Phil where'd you find that invoice? Stuffed in a parts machine? Very interesting. No more #1 reflex gears!

    I was thinking the exact same thing. Probably lighting one Camel cigarette with the last.

    I never smoked, but my friends had a name for that. Not appropriate here.

    You can still buy Chapman ratchet sets just like the one on the invoice! Great quality made-in-USA tool sets.
    The A-1316 set is still sold by them.

    So $7 in 1959, now $28 and "Made in the USA". I'll buy one just for that!

    Got it. Really nice set. Perfect for removing upper arch plastics on my Bally SS games while installed. I'm sure I'll find other uses.

    What a great piece of ephemera. The volumes of items ordered just blow my mind. 100 plunger springs? 100 collection books? What a volume of games they must have been operating. Speaking of the "Form K" collection book, I'd love to see a scan of a typical page. Does anyone have one?
