About the Item

Step right up to a genuinely rare opportunity to purchase a vintage fairground stall with original game elements included. Bold, vibrant and packed full of nostalgia, this traditional British fairground attraction is the classic game Roll-a-ball (or Rolldown). It’s a game of luck and gentle skill, and the satisfying clatter of the ball finding its slot is half the fun. This genuine showman piece has graced untold numbers of funfair grounds over its lifetime. Punchy, hand-painted artwork on panels and internal parts, ample lighting (that still works) and original canopy roof. It's a colour overload. The large, rare piece, offers a plethora of uses, including a quirky alternative to a retail display stand or the ultimate party conversation starter as an exterior bar.
