Information via Hongs games about the old Lottery games: these tickets are often difficult to date without the accompanying boxes and rules. Many of them were made in the period 1755-1875, because the class lottery was a very popular game at the time. Each game normally consists of a set of figure cards, a set of text / spell cards and a set of class cards, together in a box with a separate sheet of rules. The rules of the game usually give the best indication of dating and publisher. Old lottery games are derived from the original (first Dutch) Adam Meyer set from 1755 with copper engravings by Caspar Philips Jacobsz This set: copper-engraved figure cards, with 60 figures in 5 classes, which also include the text cards with the same numbers, as well as the class cards with the corresponding numbers of classes. The 60-set in 3 classes is in any case older (c. 1850) and the one in 5 classes is dated 1870.
