1930’s Nest Design Tidleywinks (Blue) by Chad Valley, England

Description

Tiddlywinks (there are numerous spellings) is a traditional British parlour game dating back to the late Victorian period.  This early example is in excellent condition.  It was made in England by Chad Valley of Harborne and dates from the 1930’s.  The patented Bakelite “Nest Design” was produced in various colours, this being the blue version.  Lovely compact design with the counters and target cup contained in their original matched container, with a snug push-fit lid.  Ideal for travel.  A nice quality piece with precise, crisp moulding.

I have also included a copy of the instructions from a different set, for those unfamiliar with this traditional British game.
