Carnival or Tavern String Game. American, ca. 1890. The title "String Game" hand painted on top board. 52 playing cards attached to wooden blocks. A string is attached to each block, which is spring-loaded and rises as the appropriate string is pulled, then settles back to its original position on release. Blocks housed in a 47 x 22" frame, 52 strings hanging from a metal bar jutting out from its top. A few strings broken or missing, a few cards with minor damage otherwise very good. An unusual and possibly unique device.
