The player tells the questioner the letters corresponding to which cards have their name on them and using the key the questioner adds their corresponding numbers to get the player’s name provided it is one of the 127 names listed. The game is played the same way to determine players’ ages. The game actually works! unknown

19002210013<p><i>Wooden box 32 x 26 x 8 cm with light blue patterned paper covering; the lid with a label lettered 'Loterie' and a hinged pierced wooden sign with the words 'Loterie' lettered in gilt paper on red; the lined paper interior with a central mounted wheel between mirrored sides and two hanging silk balls; the fall front where the prizes are held with two spaces left and right containing six lottery cards one from another set together with 16 toy prizes as listed below.</i></p><p>Lottery or carnival wheels games became popular at the end of the nineteenth century. Their construction was more complicated than heretofore with the addition of a rotating wheel with pins with a 'clack' mechanism sounding as the wheel is spun. The numbers on the wheel are randomly arranged from 0 through to 25 in white on alternating in black and red ground - clearly based on the 'single zero' form of roulette wheel that became the norm in Europe from the middle of the nineteenth century. The design has a second purpose as the box is hinged so that open it is given the form of a fairground entertainment with an assortment of prizes laid out in a display on squares below the wheel that each have a number too. </p><p>The idea of the game is twofold firstly as the wheel is spun and numbers called out the player who first completes a card of numbers is the winner. In the second game when the numbers 1 to 16 are called out and a player has the number on one of the cards they can then claim one of the small toy prizes. The sixteen twenty assorted of toy prizes include: a handcart wall clock bracelet scales pram wooden top bracelet fairground horse two rabbits a chicken a dish a parcel a metal top metal puzzle pair antimony jardinieres and a heart broach.</p><p>There is no makers name and the design although of a solid construction is nevertheless probably a bespoke production possibly made in order to be sold through fairgrounds and market stalls rather than the more salubrious emporia for children. The interior is lined in turquoise paper with bevelled mirrored silvered card sides and although simple the idea was glittery enough to catch any passing child's attention.</p>
