Summary
A cardboard box containing a set of ‘Spilli Wobble’ (1950). The set contains two wooden stands each with four green metal 'cups' on green metal springs; eight plastic balls coloured blue, yellow and pink, each with a metal pin through it; two wooden sticks with a spring and magnetic metal stick at the end, and a shallow metal tray lined with red textured paper. The cardboard box is original. It is coloured dark blue, with a large label on the top. The label is red, with borders of gold, blue and white radiating outwards. In the centre is a picture of two children (a girl and a boy) playing ‘Spilli Wobble’. Across the top is printed 'SPILLI-WOBBLE' in white with black borders. Each side of the picture are wreaths with yellow centres, across which is printed various slogans. On the inside of the lid is a white label with instructions on how to play the game.
