Hi,
I would like to know if anyone has a picture of the award card for a Chicago Coin "SHOOTEM" dice game.

Apparently, there is more than one model of your came.
The one you have pictured, has a "5 cents" cast in the top.
The one shown in Dick Bueschel's
GUIDE TO VINTAGE TRADE STIMULATORS and COUNTER GAMES" on page 98, top right picture, does not not have it cast in.
It also shows a push slide coin acceptor.
Photo does not show real clearly the card, but at least gives you an idea of what to look for.
Bill, at SLOT DYNASTY would be the best bet to find a card for this, and, many other trade stimulators.
Click on either photo below to enlarge.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

They made more than one version of the top casting for the "Shootem".
Two versions of 1c play, and two of the 5c play as shown in Jerry's above.
The models that use the smaller card, will show the 1c or 5c in the casting.
The ones that use the larger card, hide the 1c and 5c under the card, which
never made any sense to me. Someone just asked me the other day for the
larger card, but I have never done any of them. Most I have seen are not in
the best of shape. Perhaps some day, I will find a good one. Only thing is, I
really need to find all variations, as there are at least four.

Attached here, is an example of what I mean, by the card covering the 1c logo,
even though the card is missing.
The card should really have a loop cut out at the top center, to look right, but
I have never seen one designed like that.

Hi Guy's,
It seems by the attached adds from 1933 that possibly Chicago Coin did not manufacture the Shootem, if the statement that Sam Wolberg put out in the July issue of Automatic Age. is correct. I leave this to Slot Dynasty and the other experts, In the attached articles there is one for the Fruit Dice and one for the regular Dice.
