[Catalogue by Elkin Mathews Limited.] List 71. A Small Collection of Children's Toys and Games.

[2] + 8pp., 8vo., with an additional 6pp of illustrations. Aged and creased, with rusted staples. Typeset with something akin to an IBM golfball. Introductory note: 'This small collection of children's toys and games was formed in the early years of this century and had remained undisturbed in a packing case until purchased by us some months ago. Some of the toys show signs of use but in general the condition is very good. Adequate description is difficult and we have endeavoured to illustrate as many of the toys as possible. One or two items have been added from our own stock.' 49 items are described, with prices in pounds and dollars, the most expensive being '39. LOTTO. An elaborate set of 18th century material for playing the game of Loto-Dauphin. ca. 1785' (with 16-line description; price £20) and '7. CINEMA. A Praxinoscope. Paris: Reynaud, c. 1889.' (with 22-line description, £18). Stapled and unbound. Scarce: the only copy on COPAC and OCLC WorldCat at Nottingham University.
