A complete skill game in its original illustrated box, inspired by the famous fairground ring toss game, comprising five numbered painted wooden figures (1 to 5) and their original covered rattan rings. Each figure, turned and hand-painted, displays a naive style typical of French toys of the 1930s: rabbit, clown, figure with a hat, etc. The patinated polychrome colors and the facial expressions testify to the artisanal charm of that era. The illustrated box, printed with "Skill Game," is made of cardboard with a geometric design.
