Jeu du Tonneau- French games of wit and skill from the 1950s

French games of wit and skill from the 1950s

These are often board games or small mechanical pastimes, made from simple materials like wood, tin, or thick cardboard. The design is simple yet elegant, with illustrations typical of the era: soft colors, clean lines, stylized figures, and graphics reminiscent of the early postwar years.

The box, original from the era, shows signs of age: a crease on one corner, a small tear on the edge of the lid, and the printed paper is slightly faded by the sun. Despite this, it still retains its vintage charm, with its retro graphic style and slightly worn French lettering.
