Rare hand-painted wooden sign , used for a popular fairground or bistro game , likely a lottery game typical of the mid-20th century. The sign features the inscription "Series 1 NF," with four illustrated squares: the numbers 3, 4, a blue square worth 0.40 NF, and a red heart. This type of game involved placing a bet (here, 1 NF), with winnings depending on the square drawn. The naive design in black, red, and blue on a white background is typical of folk art from the 1950s. An authentic piece with a raw aesthetic, steeped in popular history. It is double-sided.
