Paint-Decorated Game Wheel in Scarlet Red, Chrome Yellow and Black, Ca 1880
About the Item
American game wheel, made of wood, two-sided, with a fancy chrome spinner and long, metal pins. The polychrome-paint is simply a 10-out-of-10 in terms of color, graphics, and surface, the latter worthy of the emphasis of overstating. On the obverse, there is a red background, with trios of yellow numerals that would correspond to dice, and a yellow, pinstriped border. This surrounds a black ring, decorated with gleaming suns and scrollwork, bordered in yellow striping, with more in all three colors continuing into the center.
The outer edge is painted dark green. On the reverse is a red, outer ring, with spaces numbered 50 in yellow or 100 in black on white/pink. This is followed by open, black spaces, then by another red wreath with the numbers 1-8 painted in gold and green. Yellow striping separates all of the elements and more striping in black, red, and yellow follows in the center.
The small size is another terrific feature of this striking piece of 19th century folk art. One of the best painted game wheels I have ever encountered.
Condition: There is a 1/2" x 5" diagonal repair on the face, expertly done, accompanied by two small areas of dotted touch-up. Otherwise there are extremely minor scrapes and losses. Overall excellent.

- "Visit to Camp" Rare Card Game by McLaughlin Brother of New York, Ca 1871Located in York County, PA“Visit To Camp,” an extraordinarily rare card game by mclaughlin brothers of new york, circa 1871. This extremely rare card game, designed with Civil War context, was made by McLoughlin Brothers in New York City. The set includes 12 (complete) chromolithographed, character playing cards, and 68 (out of 72) object cards, with various accoutrements. All of the above are housed in a wooden storage box with a slide lid and a chromolithographed, paper label. Played in an ad-lib, story-telling format, the characters include the Colonel, the Captain, the Zouave soldier with red pantaloons, the Rifleman, the Artilleryman, the Riding Master, the Musician, the Ferrier, the Surgeon, the Sapper (engineer), the Sutler (cook), and the Vi Vandeer (a woman who takes care of the troops). Each character was originally linked to 6 objects, which were to be produced by players on demand during a spoken reading of the game’s convoluted story-line. There are actually 69 cards included here, one of which is an object card for “the Chinaman.” Since the card matches the style exactly in printing, shape, and scale, and since there was no Chinaman in this game, I presume that the card must have once accompanied another McLaughlin ad-lib deck. The instructions (reproduced, in scale) list 13 possible players, with the 13th acting as narrator. I could locate only 3 other copies of this extremely rare game, all of which included 12 cards. McLoughlin Brothers is said to have pioneered the systematic use of color printing technologies in children’s books. The publishing firm opened in 1820 and was active until 1920, when it was sold to Milton Bradley. During the early years, the product line included toys in addition to books, among which were games, blocks, and paper dolls. Artwork from famous illustrators such as Thomas Nast, William Momberger, Ida Waugh” (Laura Wasowicz), Justin Howard, and Palmer Cox...Category
