Summary
A board game of 'Tiddley Winks' in a cardboard box (1950s). On the top of the box is printed a picture of a girl and boy playing tiddley winks on a green round table. There are the words 'Tiddley Winks' printed in red and ' 'The Harlesden' Series Made In England'. Round the sides of the lid is a decorated yellow strip with a black and white patterned border. Printed inside the lid are the rules of the game. Inside the red base is a 'score platform' which is divided into eight sections, each one of a different colour and numbered from two to nine. In the centre of this 'platform' stands a pink painted wooden pot. There are four large plastic counters (1 red, 1 blue,1 green, 1 yellow), ten small plastic counters (3 blue, 3 red, 2 green, 2 yellow), eight very small cardboard (2 red, 2 blue, 2 green, 2 yellow) and one half new penny coin. Total number of items is 27.
