This is an unpunched vintage advertising punch board manufactured by Chas. A. Brewer and Sons of Chicago, Illinois, likely dating from the 1920s to the 1940s. The board is titled Select Your Favorite Girl to Win Genuine Parker Duofold Pen and Pencil Set and served as a promotional gambling game. The header features an illustration of a Parker Duofold set in a presentation box, surrounded by game rules and price points. The instructions state that numbers 1 through 10 are free, numbers 11 through 30 pay accordingly, and numbers over 30 pay 30 cents. The main body of the board contains an 8 by 10 grid of eighty circular push buttons, each associated with a different female name, such as Jane, Clara, Mary, Freda, Maud, Nell, Estelle, Myrtle, Dora, May, and many others. A gold-colored embossed foil seal with a red ribbon remnant is affixed to the upper right corner. The bottom margin is printed with Patent No. 780086 Chas. A. Brewer and Sons Chicago, U. S. A. and the top left corner is marked Form C-2775.
