This antique bilboquet which is made of lignum vitae dates from the 19th century and would have been skillfully hand made.

This ball catch game has a carved wood handle with a spike to one end and a small cup to the other end. The object of the game is to catch the small wood ball which is attached to the centre of the handle by a string on the spike or alternatively on the cup at the other end.

These games were very popular in the 18th and 19th centuries and enjoyed by both children and adults.

This unique 19th century game would make a very nice collector's piece.
