About the game
Escalado is a horse racing game created in the United Kingdom in which model racehorse game pieces, originally made of lead, make their way down a long green fabric race track to a finish line at the far end. The horses move along the race track by means of a mechanical hand crank that vibrates the entire track in a random fashion, so as to simulate the events of a live race.
Escalado was invented and patented in 1928 by Swiss inventor Arthur Gueydan and produced by United Kingdom-based toy company Chad Valley.More from Chad Valley Co Ltd.
