Estimated year. The first appearances of the flea game in the Netherlands usually still had the original English name "Tiddledy Winks", as it had been established by Joseph Assheton Fincher since the first patent in 1888, or "Tidley Winks", as it was particularly in the 1930s. and '40 was mentioned. Various other spellings also occur. The game pictured here is called "Tidley Winks" but is dated to around 1900 due to the name "J.W. & S. Bavaria" shown, without logo, indicating an early Spear's release. The games were often imported from England from Spear's Games and provided with extra Dutch rules. Photos: Toy Museum Deventer
