A version of the game of jackstraws (or pick-up sticks). Issued in a wooden box, with sliding lid. With printed sheet of rules, 13 x 11 cm.
Title from printed label on box lid.
In description of a similar item, MISC.194-1976, the Victoria and Albert Museum notes: "Although classified as ivory, the material may be bone, in use at the time much more frequently than expensive ivory ... The label is green printed in black with the name. It is similar to those labels used by John Jaques & Son Ltd and the company did make these games."
