Description

Joie Chitwood Lucky Coin. This very good, circulated vintage lucky coin was sold at THRILL SHOW performances from 1945-48. Described as the second design, it was sold only during those years. It is also identified as a first design sold during the show’s first four years. The coin measures 1.2 inches across. In the early years, insurance for stuntmen was unavailable, and these coins were sold to help pay hospital bills. It later became a collector’s item, with few still remaining.

Manufactured by S.E. Eby Co., Philadelphia, PA.
