Direct from France and newly restored! These gambling games were manufactured from the late 1800's through the 1930's. We didn't realize the felt was originally green until we started disassembling it. The 8 horses are made of lead and intricately hand painted, probably with lead paint. Definitely not a kids' game.
restoration included:
re-felting track, repainting ring and flag pole, cleaning horses, polishing metal parts, re-striping and re-covering box.
Place your bets and enjoy!
I have one of these that I bought in Ireland a few years ago. I have been reproducing parts to create a more modern version of it, using newer engineering and parts, instead of retoring the old one. Great work! Very impressive.
