Comments: "Hughes" titled this interesting biscuit tin "Wheel of Fortune"; long before the popular TV game show created by "Merv Griffin" in 1975.
A circular metal disc inset in the lid can be spun and it has eight different romantic options for the arrow to randomly point to, "She loves me", "She loves me not" etc. Alternatively, eight different professions "Tinker", "Tailor", "Soldier", "Sailor", "Rich Man", "Poor Man", "Beggar Man", "Thief". This is from a time long gone, when being a "Rich Man" was considered legitimately to be a respectable job for a gentleman! Nice work if you can get it!
