Description

A fabulous and rare antique Victorian game of spillikins. Also known as pick-up-sticks or fiddlesticks or spellicans. The origin of the original game is unclear, but it became popular in Europe in the 1800's. There are 23 carved wooden implements in this set, plus a pair of ivory handled metal hooks. They are contained in a lovely turn wood container. Each implement is numbered, and the idea of the two player game is to pick up one item at a time without disturbing any others. The game comes with its original instructions. Each wood item is a different implement, such as a saw, walking stick, club, spade, fork, sword etc. Ivory Exemption Certificate No. 5S42P98R. It is a really well made item. Stock Code: 2830.
