Details

Game content is shown here completely in 3 photos for clarity. Box is missing. 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 50 figure cards in 3 classes, 50 text cards and class cards, clearly based on or from the Adam Meyer (employed from 1754 - 1791) type from 1755. Engravings probably also by Caspar Philips Jacobsz. The box and accompanying rules are missing. The cards are made of thick handmade paper.
