ANTIQUE RANDOM NUMBER SPINNER

A rare 19th century fruitwood random number generator, possibly a scratch built / tramp roulette board. Numbers are from 1 to 32 and spaced randomly. The spinner has a metal pin at one end to point to the number that should be used in the game of your choice, and it moves freely. Great to use in any number guessing game, bingo, craps, homemade raffle etc. There are two holes where it was fixed onto something else on each side, and a piece of wood missing next to one. The board is probably French. On the back is a hand written name in pencil and another word, hard to read.
