Las Vegas Memorabilia Appraisal

Las Vegas Draw Poker Slot Machine Trinket Box

This item is a decorative trinket box meticulously crafted to resemble a miniature slot machine. The box is predominantly white, possibly made of porcelain or ceramic, with vibrant red and gold accents. Its 'slot machine' facade features painted details, including a red display at the top with 'LAS VEGAS' written in gold lettering. Below this, a metallic, ornate hinged band, possibly brass or a similar alloy, defines the opening of the trinket box and is adorned with a stylized flower or starburst motif in the center. The main body of the 'machine' depicts a poker hand consisting of various playing cards (e.g., clubs, hearts, diamonds, spades) and a red lever on the right side. Another red section below the cards reads 'DRAW POKER' in gold script, indicating the theme. The base of the slot machine is black. The item appears to be in good condition with no immediately visible chips, cracks, or significant wear, though some minor scuffs might be present given its age and material. The gold detailing around the edges and lettering shows good retention. It likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century, designed as a souvenir or collectible. The craftsmanship suggests it is a mass-produced item, but with a good level of detail for its type, aiming to capture the essence of a casino game in a keepsake format. Its small size, typical of a trinket box, suggests it was intended for storing small jewelry or other miniature treasures.
