12 Vintage Fortune tickets from Swami Carnival Machine paper ephemera lot
Nice lot of 12 fortune tickets chosen at random. These are great for paper projects. They have a hole at the top where they fit on the machine These are in good overall condition for age - they do have some manufacturer's flaws - they are slightly different sizes. Some are a bit smaller all over and some are cut short, no border - right up to the words. These would probably not fit right in any of the old machines Really cute-on one side is the answer to the question asked - on the other is a playing card symbol and what it means. They are about 1 1/2" by 2 3/8" - We do combine shipping - The discount is calculated at checkout Payment is expected within 3 days The items I sell are old, vintage, used - expect wear consistent with age and use We ship as soon as we can, usually within a day or two Thank you!.
