Paper, cardboard wheel antique French
gambling or drinking game wheel, known as 'Roulette Jackpot Les petits chevaux' (Little Horses). The text "NAS, PARIS" and "MODELE DÉPOSÉ" (Registered Model/Design) indicate the manufacturer and its protected design status.
The wheel features:
Game Type: A spinning wheel with jockey and horse illustrations in red (rouge) and yellow (jaune) segments.
Wagering/Forfeits: The French text "CONSOMMATION DE 20 C." and "CONSOMMATION DE 30 C." refers to a "consumption" or forfeit of 20 or 30 centimes (cents/francs), suggesting players would have to pay a small amount, likely for another round of drinks or a small payout, depending on where the spinner landed.
Age: Similar "little horses" roulette and trade stimulator games are often dated to the early 20th century, with some specifically attributed to makers like Abel Nau in 1913. |
