Best.-Nr. 42797Boston: Rust Craft n.y. Heavy stock 6" X 3½" printed envelope that opens to reveal two pockets one containing 16 heavy stock 5" X 3" printed cards and the other containing a single heavy stock bifold 6" X 5" printed card. Very good. Printed envelope faintly age toned and lightly edgeworn with small discreet archival mends along couple of weakened folds; cards near fine with the occasional small foxing. This pioneering greeting card company was founded in Boston by Fred Rust in 1906 and their product line also included packets such as this noted as product number "599". Each of the 16 cards contains several clever word play questions such as #1 "When did the fly fly" and the last #49 "When was beef the highest" The bifold "Answers to Conundrums" card lists all answers "1. When the spider spied her" and "49. When the cow jumped over the moon". Undated although the typeface and style suggest perhaps 1920s vintage. The charming printed envelope front actually appears hand colored and shows a young man and young woman facing each other in front of a large window; "Conundrums" title below includes the rhyming explanatory stanza: "Each conundrum here will show / How quick we are -- perhaps how slow! / If slow there are surely others too / Just as slow as me and you!" Quaint and complete -- and also scarce. Rust Craft unknown

A large laughing female kangaroo with a joey in her pouch who says "Be Happy at Home!" to another young kangaroo asking "Why such joy" decorates the triangular box lid of this amusing bright orange and purple 1915 peg board game. The playing board itself is framed with the text "You can't be blue if you KANGAROO. No trouble troubles you." The unusual triangular box features three kangaroos on the top lid with edges decorated with horse shoes and shamrocks on a purple ground. The instructions are printed on the under side of the top lid including the offer of a $500 reward. The Kangaroo Corporation offered the prize for any correct solution to the game which involves landing the King in Goal No. 14. "The above prize to be awarded January 15 1916." 25 numbered holes on the board with 12 small wooden pegs.

1900Best.-Nr. 2210013Wooden box 32 x 26 x 8 cm with light blue patterned paper covering; the lid with a label lettered 'Loterie' and a hinged pierced wooden sign with the words 'Loterie' lettered in gilt paper on red; the lined paper interior with a central mounted wheel between mirrored sides and two hanging silk balls; the fall front where the prizes are held with two spaces left and right containing six lottery cards one from another set together with 16 toy prizes as listed below. Lottery or carnival wheels games became popular at the end of the nineteenth century. Their construction was more complicated than heretofore with the addition of a rotating wheel with pins with a 'clack' mechanism sounding as the wheel is spun. The numbers on the wheel are randomly arranged from 0 through to 25 in white on alternating in black and red ground - clearly based on the 'single zero' form of roulette wheel that became the norm in Europe from the middle of the nineteenth century. The design has a second purpose as the box is hinged so that open it is given the form of a fairground entertainment with an assortment of prizes laid out in a display on squares below the wheel that each have a number too. The idea of the game is twofold firstly as the wheel is spun and numbers called out the player who first completes a card of numbers is the winner. In the second game when the numbers 1 to 16 are called out and a player has the number on one of the cards they can then claim one of the small toy prizes. The sixteen twenty assorted of toy prizes include: a handcart wall clock bracelet scales pram wooden top bracelet fairground horse two rabbits a chicken a dish a parcel a metal top metal puzzle pair antimony jardinieres and a heart broach. There is no makers name and the design although of a solid construction is nevertheless probably a bespoke production possibly made in order to be sold through fairgrounds and market stalls rather than the more salubrious emporia for children. The interior is lined in turquoise paper with bevelled mirrored silvered card sides and although simple the idea was glittery enough to catch any passing child's attention.
