Lottery game / "fun sale", "TO KNOW THE TRUTH - QUESTION THE FAKIR". A 1950s counter game used by fairground workers, grocers, and street vendors to attract customers: the customer tears off a ticket, reveals a number, and pays the corresponding price (price range in old francs: 0.30 F to 1.00 F). In good visual condition, with fresh colors. Note: 6 tickets are missing (the others are in place), slight browning under some strips – typical for these cards.
