Tiddledywinks, feline style |
The old children’s game of tiddledywinks seems pretty quaint compared to today’s video games, but it is still available, and basically unchanged. It was ridiculously simple: coinlike disks were used to flip smaller disks into a cup to score points.
In the 1930s the English firm of J. W. Spear and Son produced its Little Kittens version of the game, in which the cups were mouths and paws of some gaping kitten figurines.
