This one appears to have spent some time in the possession of a young Francie Philbrook, who wrote her name on one of the five gaming chips for the horse roulette game housed inside. It's a fairly early one, and a nice large one, with ball still resting in the roulette spinner. One of the six betting chips was lost along the way as was the stem of the apple, but I've put a Victorian glass headed pin in the hole, which I is my go to solution to that common issue, and I think it works pretty well. These were made in Japan for export to the Western market, beginning in the very early 20th century or so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 1\/4\" t x 4\" d. Apart from missing stem as noted, apple is in good shape, with general wear but next to no paint loss and a nice patina. The top does not fit very snugly on the bottom half, just due to shrinkage\/expansion over time. One betting chip missing as noted and one small loss along the edge of the #1 chip. Spinner in great shape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924842135806,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_6955_48e98ea9-e626-48f3-802e-2977b960649f.jpg?v=1773239082","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/francie-philbrooks-large-red-treen-apple-with-horse-roulette","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
