100 Vintage Coin Op Fortune Teller Cards Slips Tickets for Ask Swami & Madam X

Description

A number of years ago I had bought about a dozen antique Ask Swami machines and sold them but still had a number of the original old stock fortune cards that I am now selling. I am selling the cards only and the machine is in the picture to show you what it looks like, and is not for sale. The price is for 100 paper fortunes for the 1950's counter top fortune tellers "Ask Swami" and "Madam X". The old machines had napkin and menu holders, and I remember seeing them back in the 1950's and 1960's on counters and table tops. Put in a penny, and out came a fortune, and an answer to your Yes or No question. The paper fortunes are printed on both sides, and have a punched hole to fit into the inner mechanism of the machines. Each card is 2 5/16" by 1 1/2"

Terms of Sale
Please see all the photos to best understand the appearance and condition of this item, and read the description carefully and ask any questions prior to bidding. I am not an expert on all of these items, so if you have any questions please just ASK, and we even send out additional detailed photo's upon request. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Most of the best return policies that I have ever seen on Ebay have been for some of the sellers with the worst feedback that I have ever seen so you decide. If there are any coins shown next to an item they are there for size comparison only and not part of the sale. We generally wait until you let us know that your treasure has arrived safely (or see your feedback in our file) and then we leave feedback for the winning bidder.
About Us
I AM NOT AN EXPERT ON ALL OF THIS COOL OLD STUFF!!!!!!! I try to take good pictures and do the best that I can to describe my items with my limited knowledge. I have found and sold items from the 15th century up through the high tech items of today and with billions of items out there I have to admit that I am not an expert on any of them. I simply go out and find it and pass it along to the folks that collect it. I would love to have a book on each of the items that I have sold over the years but if I did, my library would now contain many thousands of volumes and I could not read them if I lived twenty lifetimes. I simply try to list items so that the right people can find them and I leave the rest up to them. Part of the fun of passing on some of the really odd items is that over the years I have had a number of buyers get back in touch with me and let me know that my items were being featured in their books and a few of them have been the only items know to exist. Nobody in that field had ever seen my item before and my item was not to be found in any book until I sold it to the author. ------ If you see a very nice item in my listing and do not see any words like perfect or mint condition, please understand that it has nothing to do with the quality of the item that is listed. Many items qualify for the use of those terms but, we have found that there are a few buyers who believe that there has never been an item made that will qualify for their definition of perfect. Read my feedback you will simply find a lot of buyers who say that the item is nicer than expected. You be the judge.
