Details
This is a rare find!
Unrestored 1890s H C Evans game wheel. Research shows the wheel is called a color wheel and was manufactured by H C Evans of Chicago, Illinois.

See a bit of history below:

Once a leading manufacturer of casino equipment and supplies - both honest and crooked - in the United States. It was established in 1892 and collapsed in 1955. In 1929 it claimed to be the oldest firm of its kind in existence. From about 1914 the firm published a catalogue known as "The Secret Blue Book", which included details of crooked casino equipment supplied by the firm.

This is in beautiful shape and condition for the age. Unfortunately we did not get the original stand. The stand would have been painted wood on metal legs. All the mirror glass is original except one panel is missing, note 2nd to last photo. From an old saloon, bar in Milwaukee, Wisc. via Chicago.

Dimensions: coming soon
