Francie Philbrook's Large Red Treen Apple with Horse Roulette small pottery plate The name of the game

The name of the game is to balance him in various positions in combination with the two other pieces included

now they're the right size to hang around one's neck or indeed to loop a key ring through

holding back a door like a good guardian

This one is also unusual for its underside

I love an old photo of a bird

Francie Philbrook's Large Red Treen Apple with Horse Roulette small pottery plate The name of the gameAnother week, another old treen apple, because I love them and because each one is really its own thing, varying in size and age and paint and contents and the life it has led. This one appears to have spent some time in the possession of a young Francie Philbrook, who wrote her name on one of the five gaming chips for the horse roulette game housed inside. It's a fairly early one, and a nice large one, with ball still resting in the roulette spinner.
