Jumbo Gambling Wheel. Chicago: H.C. Evans (?), ca. 1890. Detailed reverse glass paintings include horseheads, American flags, horseshoes, birds and women’s heads. Sitting on three cast iron legs and attaches to a six and a half foot stand topped with a fine brass eagle. Original hardware. 54” in diameter. Paint flaking and cracks to some of the glass panels. Third party transportation required. Although this piece is not marked, it has all the characteristics of an H.C Evans product. The wheel was reportedly meant for use used in a casino in Havasu, Arizona but the establishment was never opened, so the wheel was later purchased out of storage.
