This vintage manual countertop trade stimulator was manufactured by the Northwestern Novelty Co. of Morris, Illinois. The device is a ball-in-rim gambling game consisting of a circular tray with a glass top over a lithographed game face and a metal outer rim. The central dial features advertising for Hewitt's Candies in red and black script on a yellow background. The perimeter of the game face is divided into numbered segments ranging from 1 to 42, alternating in color between green and orange-red. The game is accompanied by a single steel ball used for play. Also included are two original paper documents: a primary instruction sheet printed by the Northwestern Novelty Co. and a supplemental note from the Anderson Game Co. of Anderson, Indiana. The set is presented in a modern, fabric-lined auction display box.
