SECERET SOCIETY BALLOT BOX WITH BLACK BALL

Sign In to see what this sold for

Box in which little balls or cubes used in voting for a candidate are deposited. Various methods have been devised so that a voter may select and deposit the ball he desires without the possibility of its being seen whether it is black or white. That which has been most in use in the United States is to have the aperture so covered by a part of the box as to prevent the hand from being seen when the ball is deposited. These boxes are used in voting in new members of various secret societies such as Masons.
