A delightful 19th century children's game based on Daniel Defoe's classic book Robinson Crusoe. This game entitled "Robinson Crusoe and His Man Friday" has 28 of the original 30 cards (cards are 2.25x3.25 inches) each with etched, hand-colored images of Robinson Crusoe, his man Friday and a host of plant life, animals and objects that might be found on Crusoe's island. The cards are in fine condition, showing just a hint of age.

Research dates this game to 1845...

This little hen is a tin litho lithography wind-up toy from Baldwin Mfg. Co. Inc., Brooklyn, New York. It has a patent number from 1939: #2151330. Color is slightly faded, but still very good. Crank and egg-dispensing mechanism works fine, but she has lost her "cluck". Sorry -- no eggs. Measures about 4.5 inches tall and 4.75 inches long.

Cute little 3-piece dining set for a dollhouse. The table and two chairs are made of wire and lithographed tin.
