At the start of the 20th Century, a large number of games were released with a central mechanism of turnless trading - players would typically call out of number of an item they wish to trade, and when a trading partner was found, would trade, trying to acquire all of the goods of one type. The most well known of these games is Pit, which has stayed in print since 1904.
A thread on the origin of these games can be found at A very different "Name That Game" challenge...
