Roulette Ball Knocker. Circa 1920. Gaff designed to direct or steer the fall of a ball on a full-sized casino roulette wheel. Once installed in a wheel and connected to an electronic switch, the knocker is activated by a solenoid switch, which causes the point of the device to protrude through a tiny hole hidden inside the track of the wheel, causing the ball to be knocked down into the frets. Height 2 ??. Scarce.
