The highly expressive face, with its wide-open eyes and exaggerated features, is reminiscent of the popular satirical illustrations found in newspapers and on entertainment items around 1900. The game involves guiding five small metal balls into the cavities in the design, particularly around the hat. These small, pocket-sized dexterity games, made of metal with a lithographed design protected by domed glass, were very common at the turn of the 20th century and today stand as charming examples of popular toys from the Belle Époque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1640\" data-end=\"1999\"\u003e ✦ Origin: Europe\u003cbr data-start=\"1661\" data-end=\"1664\"\u003e ✦ Period: Circa 1900\u003cbr data-start=\"1685\" data-end=\"1688\"\u003e ✦ Dimensions: approx. 4.5 cm \u003cbr data-start=\"1723\" data-end=\"1726\"\u003e✦ Condition: Good overall condition with normal wear and tear on the case.
