  1903
• McLoughlin Brothers game makers of New York produced the "Jolly Toddledy Wink Target Game" in 1903. Tiddledy Winks took the United States by storm soon after its introduction in England, in 1889. A circus and target theme on the box cover hints at the pleasure of this McLoughlin game.

Tales of Wells Fargo by Bell Ltd.

Museum Number: B.88:1 to 15-2010

"This board game was based on the popular televisions series, Tales of Wells Fargo, which was produced in the USA between 1957 and 1962. The story was set in the mid 19th century and regarded a company troubleshooter in the American West. The game involves moving your playing pieces (tiddlywinks, to represent cowboys) around the board, according to numbers on a spinner, to try and recover stolen valuables which have been robbed from passengers on a Wells Fargo stage coach voyage. It is simple in design, and cheaply made, almost entirely from cardboard. The game represents an early adaptation of a television drama into board game format."
