The product is an antique crystal ball fortune-telling game from the early 20th century, specifically dating back to around 1900-1920. This game is complete with scrolls and features a clear crystal material with a decorative scroll pattern. 

That is not modern glass. What you have there is an early molded glass fortune ball filled with embedded gold-toned number rings — exactly what the original Crystal Ball parlor games used around 1900–1915.

“Made in Czechoslovakia” gives us a firm date range and confirms this is authentic Bohemian crystal, not a later plastic or novelty ba



Czechoslovakia existed under that name from 1918 to 1938.

So your crystal ball was made in that 20-year window — most likely 1920s–early 1930s.


Bohemia (now Czech Republic) was the world center of crystal glass. These balls were exported to the U.S. and England for:


  • Fortune telling games
  • Occult shops
  • Carnival and parlor sets



Your numbered, embedded-ring ball is a Bohemian novelty glass sphere, made specifically for fortune games.
