c.1900s M.J. & Cie. Jeu de Course Game

Built in 1905, this historic Jeu de Course racing game by French manufacturer M.J. & Cie is a captivating piece of automotive history. Housed in an elegantly finished black and gold wooden box, the game's green playing surface hosts four numbered cast metal cars, each powered by a spring-loaded mechanism activated by a front lever. Originating from Bloomfield Township, Michigan, this antique game is not only a delightful interactive artifact but also offers insight into the early days of motoring culture, as indicated by its listing on Bring a Trailer with an active bid currently at $800.
