Carnival Ball Tossing Knockdowns "Ligne, " French, circa 1890
Located in Incline Village, NV
Four young boys are dressed up as rascals sitting on tree stumps ready to be knocked down by the throw of a ball and a direct hit. The young boys have hands clenched while one boy is holding a fish. This brightly colored late 19th century carnival game is in excellent original paint and is made of wood, with hand-painted "composition on wood" figures. The rich, predominantly green floral frame is also hand-painted on wood. Amazing to find in this original condition considering the rough play and abuse it would have gone through. I have thoroughly examined and black lighted the boy figures...
