This blog stands in protest against the USA's horrific attempts to eliminate trans people from society. Trans people have always existed, in every society, but the administration has embraced a moral panic, declared a war against reality, and says that trans people can no longer be allowed to exist. This includes making their healthcare illegal, censoring books and school curriculum from university level down to elementary school, and stoking the constant terrorist bomb and death threats against trans lives and institutions that don't also purge trans people.

This blog stands in solidarity with all of the youth who are being terrorized by a fascist president who has declared them to be threats that must be eliminated.

The USA is disappearing random brown people off the streets via unidentified masked men and shipping them off to notorious foreign prisons, all with no due process. Solidarity for all who are in the gaze of this government-run terror campaign against its own citizens.

J. A. Jost, Jost & Cie: gamemaker extraordinaire

I have found the Jean Anatole Jost (1860-1926) catalogues very useful for my pinball ancestry research.  According to Association Wellouëj (archive), Jost filed a patent for "le grimpeur au Mât de Cocagne" back in 1886.  The current archives for patents don't seem to go back that far, but hopefully they will eventually get digitized.

In this post we are covering this across a few sections:

1. Catalogues
2. Factory Negatives
3. Games that Jost created
4. Games that Jost improved upon
5. Game Photographs
6. Patents

Catalogues

I have uploaded a number of Jost catalogues to the Internet Archive.  Thank you to Patrick Carrière at Billards Anciens and James Masters at Masters Of Games for assistance.

J.A. Jost Catalogue 1890 - Manufacture De Jeux De Précision - Ancienne Maison Chevallier [PDF download]

This next catalogue is INCOMPLETE.  I believe it is from ~1922, as I think the "Catalogue No." generally aligns with the year of 1900.

Jeu De Precision - Jost & Cie Catalogue No 22 [INCOMPLETE] [PDF download]

I am assuming that catalogue No. 26 is from around 1926.

Jeu De Precision - Jost & Cie Catalogue No 26 [PDF download]

This next catalogue does not even mention Jost at all, but contains materials from their earlier catalogues.  On the back page you can see the imprint "1073 - 25.9.28".  My assumption is that second number is the catalogue date, September 25th, 1928.  

Règle Du Jeu Avec Notice sur Les Jeux D'aujourd'hui [PDF Download]

This next one is very similar to the one above, and appears to have been pasted inside the box of a roulette game.  It contains the roulette instructions, followed by a short catalogue.  It features J.A.J and J.A.L on the cover.

J.A.J. & J.A.L. - Les Jeux D'Aujourd'hui Règle Du Jeu [PDF download]

The following are images of covers of other catalogues.  If you have these or any other Jost material, please send me an email.  thetastates@gmail.com

1892 catalogue

The 1902 catalogue cover says "Catalogue No 2", which leads me to believe that there is a strong correlation between the catalogue numbers and the year in the 1900s.

1902 catalogue

One exception to that rule is the "Catalogue special" which seems to be a bonus supplement, perhaps published halfway between annual catalogues?  That is a guess.  This one still says " No. 2" but also 1903.

1902 catalogue

The following is a slim catalogue that popped up on Ebay.  Given the phrasing, I assume this is a later catalogue, after Jost passed.  I like the photographs from the shop.  If you think there are clues to help date it, please let me know.

Factory Negatives

The following are silvered negative photographs from the Jost factory, as listed on proantic (archive).  I'm posting the inverted versions.

exploring the arcade in La belle équipe (1936)

 La belle équipe is a movie from France circa 1936.

Not much to see here except for this one gorgeous crane game.  With the bartender distracted, 3 men tilt the machine to help them retrieve 2 choice prizes.  I am unsure if tilting the machine like that actually provides any advantage.
