Featured in this lot we have a Booz-Barometer 5 cent sobriety arcade game originating from the 1950's. The machine was used in numerous bars as a game to test the users motor functions and not as a official sobriety test. The game is after inserting a nickel to see how far you can get the metal loop down the bent rod with out the two touching. The front of the game is marked "Booz-Barometer Sobriety test of Champions" followed by varying drunken 'levels' along with warning labels and instructions. The piece is in full working order with running lights and bell, as well as the original keys for the back. The arcade game is in good condition for its age. It measures 20" wide by 17 1/2" tall and 7" deep.
