Fry Pan" Cold Decker. This secret device approximates the shape of a small frying pan with a cloth bag attached. The Cold Decker would be attached to a strip of wide elastic pinned to the operator's back under his coat. The device would be placed between the operator's legs and used as a deposit for a deck of cards after a switch had been made. When the operator stood up later, the Cold Decker shot up the back of his coat, thus concealing the presence of the switched-out deck. Metal and cloth, with original instructions. Good condition. Collectible gambling memorabilia item.
