No. 490.—KING'S QUOITS

Illustration of game box cover. The cover shows four royal persons at an angle in each corner.

Size, 15 x 17 inches

This game is a parlour quoit game played with light brass rings and a target-board filled with pegs for catching them.

There is also a tiddledy-winks game to be played upon the same target-board with perforated bone discs instead of chips, which is of merit equal to the regular quoits.

The game is very bright and attractive, as well as very simple to play. It is adapted to the use of children or young people.

No. 850. TIDDLEDY WINKS — No. 0, 25 Cents.

No illustration

Duranoid Winks.
Box 3 x 4½ inches.

This game is similar to No. 1 wood pot, except that it has "Winks" and "Tiddledies" of duranoid instead of bone. This is neatly put up and a good Tiddledy Winks game, but is not quite so pleasant to play as a set with the bone winks.

No. 851. — TIDDLEDY WINKS — No. 1, 30 Cents.

No illustration

Size, 3 x 4½ inches, wood pots.
" 4½x 4½ " glass pots.

The game is played the same as that described under Tiddledy Winks, No. 2, above. These sets have not mats, but are intended to be used on a soft table cover. One to four may play.

We regard the wood pot as preferable to the glass for children, as it is much safer. The glass pot gives an attractive resonant sound as the chips fall into it, which induces some to prefer it.

No. 852.—TIDDLEDY WINKS — No. 2.
50 Cents.

Illustration of game with woman's hand at right shooting winks off soft pad towards pot at left. Game is marked "PATENT NOV. 18, 1890"

4½ x 8 inches.

The game of Tiddledy Winks is played with six round bone chips, or "Winks," ⅝ of an inch in diameter, one large chip, 1⅛ inches in diameter, a soft mat or table cover for each player, and a cup or "pot" for common use.

To play, a small chip is put on the mat; the large chip, grasped between the forefinger and thumb, is pressed upon its centre and drawn steadily away from the "pot." When the edge of the small chip, or Wink, is reached, it flies forward and upward toward the pot. The game is to put the Winks in the "pot" in this manner, as in the picture above. No. 2 has six sets of men, three mats, one for each pair of partners, and a wooden cup, or Wink pot.

The label is printed in colors.

No. 490.—KING'S QUOITS

Illustration of game box cover. The cover shows four royal persons at an angle in each corner.

Size, 15 x 17 inches

This game is a parlour quoit game played with light brass rings and a target-board filled with pegs for catching them.

There is also a tiddledy-winks game to be played upon the same target-board with perforated bone discs instead of chips, which is of merit equal to the regular quoits.

The game is very bright and attractive, as well as very simple to play. It is adapted to the use of children or young people.

No. 850. TIDDLEDY WINKS — No. 0, 25 Cents.

No illustration

Duranoid Winks.
Box 3 x 4½ inches.

This game is similar to No. 1 wood pot, except that it has "Winks" and "Tiddledies" of duranoid instead of bone. This is neatly put up and a good Tiddledy Winks game, but is not quite so pleasant to play as a set with the bone winks.

No. 851. — TIDDLEDY WINKS — No. 1, 30 Cents.

No illustration

Size, 3 x 4½ inches, wood pots.
" 4½x 4½ " glass pots.

The game is played the same as that described under Tiddledy Winks, No. 2, above. These sets have not mats, but are intended to be used on a soft table cover. One to four may play.

We regard the wood pot as preferable to the glass for children, as it is much safer. The glass pot gives an attractive resonant sound as the chips fall into it, which induces some to prefer it.

No. 852.—TIDDLEDY WINKS — No. 2.
