Chocolate Gold Coin memories...
When I was a kid, we would spend 2 weeks every summer at Mayo Beach
(Chesapeake Bay) MD. In the 1950's they allowed slot machine gambling
and although I was too young to gamble, I would watch my Grandmother
play for hours. I was fascinated when coins dropped out and jingled
the tin bowl below
One Halloween, I told my Mother I wanted to dress up as a slot
machine. She obtained a big carton from the grocery store, covered it
with tin foil, cut a hole in one side for my right arm, a 3 square
holes in front, and 1 bigger hole below the 3. My Dad rigged up an
unopened roll of paper towels inside the box which I had colored the
circumference with rows of 3 cherries, 3 plumbs, 3 bells, and 3 bars.
The pictures were exposed through the 3 square holes. We taped a cup
in the hole below those which was sticking halfway inside and halfway
outside. I had a bag of Chocolate Gold Coins inside the box.
With my right arm sticking out the side bent at a 90 degree angle
people could pull my right arm down. Then with my left hand, I would
quickly spin the paper towel roll and they would see 3 cherries,
plumbs, bells, or bars. I would reach into the bag, pull out 1 to 4
coins, and drop them into the cup where the "player" would collect his
winnings.
Although I kept having to replenish the coins every 15 minutes or so,
it was the most fun I had ever had at Halloween! ~ Harry from
California
Picture it. Christmas
morning. The three of us (kids) huddled near the stairs, waiting for
the okay from Mom to enter the living room. Our dad, a huge fan of
his 8mm camera (70's version of a video camera) would set up so that
he could capture our little faces and the joy we showed as we first
saw the Christmas tree.
The lights were twinkling on
the tree and the bright light from the movie camera would shine on
the gold coins that were strewn from the opening of the fireplace to
the tree. Mom would always say "Mrs. Claus still hasn't repaired
that hole in Santa's pocket yet." We would laugh and dive for the
candy. We would pick up as many pieces as we could and take them to
our spots on the floor and wait for Mom to hand out the first gift
to each of us.
To this day, it is one of my
favorite memories. I even do the same thing with my own three
children. Nothing like a chocolate coin on Christmas morning to
bring back memories. ~ Kim from Colorado
