Game of Anagrams (Milton Bradley #4150)


Springfield, MA: Milton Bradley Co., ca. 1890s.

Box with lid, 6 x 4.25 x 1 inches. With original 4p instruction booklet. The cover illustration of a teacher ringing a bell almost has a likeness to Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, who opened the first English-language kindergarten and hugely influenced Milton Bradley in promoting kindergarten materials, though she was ultimately critical of its commercialization. This iteration of the popular game was issued in a small plain box--the most economical option for consumers, but also the least robust, making this a formidable survivor.
