"Pub, Bistro Game, Counter Divination, 19th-century Wheel Of Fortune "
It's difficult to find the right keywords to describe this incredible object, which originated on Boulevard Sébastopol in Paris at the end of the 19th century, within the walls of what was then the world's largest food distribution center: Felix Potin. This playful bistro game, similar to a wheel of fortune, operates using static electricity, which the player activates with a wave of their hand. A feather fairy then lands on one of the 36 predictions. A promotional item perfectly in keeping with the spirit of the era, it advertises Cognac, Saint Augustin rum, Gouventine liqueur, Champagne, Regina tea, Bornibu mustard, "Le Super" coffee, and Dollars and Polo biscuits. Sponsored, as we would say today, by the 14 Duval restaurants. The rules of the game are printed on the base. This exceptional and ingenious game is in magnificent condition.
