Is it one of those penny stamping/crushing/stamping machines? But quite old?

Not quite yet. The location is important too. So keep that in mind.

I think it's something I've seen in those mail order catalogs. It's a wind up watch for people with Arthritis. And for those visually impared, it just says the time. |

philadelphian got it right! The Carson City Mint is now the Nevada State Museum and it a great place to spend an afternoon. I took this picture of Coin Press #1 a couple year's ago while going through it. The press was manufactured in 1869. They still use this coin press to mint souvenir coins which you can purchase straight out of the press if you are lucky enough to go on a day when they have it running. Here's the website for more information and a better picture of the press. http://museums.nevadaculture.org/in...5&Itemid=443Edited by chesterb
