SPECTACULAR H.C. EVANS HORSE RACE GAMING WHEEL WITH ODDS INDICATOR. Perhaps one of the most desirable and aesthetically pleasing gaming wheels ever manufactured. On a wooden and cast iron tripod base, with a mechanical drum odds wheel atop, and further adorned by nickel plated eagle, this reverse painted wheel depicting ten various horses at the racetrack (3 panels have cracks). It is further enhanced with a tin/aluminum fanciful mirrored star like center, making this a desirable piece not only for gaming collectors, but horse lovers alike. Overall the condition is very good with period park paint. Wheels of this nature were used throughout the country at local fairs and carnivals as well as at firehouse benefits, VFW’s, fraternal lodges, etc. It appears as though this piece saw little use since its creation around the 1940s. SIZE: Approx. 7′ t., wheel diameter: 5′. CONDITION: Overall very good, paper on odds wheel has been replaced. 1-8942 (6,500-7,500)
