Flatliners

Now I remember!

George Bailey, in Mr Gower's pharmacy (chemist to you Brits) 

Yes,,, I have scratched my chin over this one many times. I never got it.

You'll notice the there is a flame that lights when he releases the handle. Maybe some sort of parlor game that they had back then? Don't have a clue. I would love to find a person old enough to tell me what the heck is going on with that one.

It's a game that we used to play at the fairs and carnivals predominantly in the South US. There is a battery that alternates on and off and if you make a wish and the battery is in the On mode, the light is lit. As if the wish has been heard and answered.
