For sale is a very rare boîte à oublies
You sometimes see them in Spain, they were also used in France.
They are used by street venders that sell Waffles.
You pay a coin and turn the roulette on top.
That will indicate the number of waffles you will get.
The box opens up and the stock is inside.
This boîte à oublies or Barquillera in Spanish, dates from around 1900.
Big part of the paint is lost, belts need to be changed.
The front part is no longer perfectly round. See pictures.
With a minor restauration this will become a splendid item for the high-end collector.
