vintage picture lotto game, spears games england

A wonderfully graphic mid-century picture lotto game by Spear’s Games, filled with bold primary colours and charming simplified illustrations, cherries, mushrooms, trains, fish, spinning tops, scissors, telephones and tiny red toy-like objects arranged in neat grids.

There’s something unexpectedly modern about the design. The clean shapes and bright colour blocks feel almost Bauhaus-inspired despite being made for children, giving the set that nostalgic yet timeless quality collectors are drawn to.

The set shows age and use throughout. The original paper sleeve is torn and fragile, and the boards and tiles carry gentle wear, soft marks, edge rubbing and signs of handling consistent with decades of play. Exactly the kind of honest wear that suits Soft Alchemy pieces so well.

Perfect for:
• assemblage and collage work
• prop styling and photography
• artists and mixed media makers
• nursery or studio decor
• memory and ephemera collections
• slow living interiors
• colour inspiration and display

A lovely object for anyone drawn to vintage educational graphics, playful typography and worn paper treasures.
