Penny In The Slot Inn Pipe Box Antics
A Sheffield correspondent describes a crude penny in the slot pipe box in an English inn. The long churchwarden pipe and a tin box with a slit released tobacco when a penny dropped. The landlord says the box has stocked guests for centuries and predates modern machines. It parallels penny slot machines popular in Britain and America. The piece also recalls Ruskin Carlyle chats and light humorous notices from various papers.
