Groetchen Zig-Zag question

Postby tsparts4u » Wed Jul 25, 2012 1:07 pm

Can anyone tell me what the wording on the bottom three lines of a Groetchen Zig-Zag trade stimulator award card is?
Beginning with........CAUTION: Only 1 Cigarette..........

Thank you, for the picture. Unfortunately, the wording that I need, is not readable.

Or maybe "Caution: Only 2 Cigarette" ???

I found these at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300727800953&viewitem=

Based on the seller's description of how to play the game, "Only 2" would make more sense (I think) than "Only 1" would, in the context of the game. :idea:

"When you insert a penney, nickle or a dime, the wheels spin, and all the windows are covered up with doors, below the doors are little levers, when pushed down on open the windows, what you're trying to do is match up 2 or more packs of a kind, the more packs you match, the more you win."

Those old cigarette packs are so cool. Does your machine have the same ones as shown in the pictures for this ebay machine? I remember all of these names except "Wings". Never heard of that one before...

Actually, I WISH that I had a Groetchen Zig-Zag machine. The truth is.......A friend of mine has the machine, and he needs an award card for it, as the machine came with a makeshift typed out card, that was nothing like the original. I am trying to reproduce a card as close to the original as possible for him, because, as far as I know, nobody has mad this card. This is what I have come up with, and it should be better than the typed card that he has now. One sample has a darker background than the other. Which one do you think looks better? Any comments or suggestions for improvement would be appreciated as I can make changes.

Just in proofreading.. you left off the colon ":" after the word "indicated". Also, you substituted "open" for "visible".

Other than that, it looks really good to me. I prefer the slightly darker version, just because I don't like old antique stuff to look brand spankin' new. I can't stand that guy on American Restorations... he always ruins stuff. [-X

Thanks, for the corrections. I just guessed at the word open, because I could only see 2/3 of the sample that you posted.
I missed the colon. I'll make the corrections. I really appreciate all of your help with this.
