Description: | This is an indoor version of a popular throwing game known as "Aunt Sally". The aim was to throw the rings over the clay pipe in the doll's mouth. "Parlour Aunt Sally" games like this one were commercially produced from the late 19th Century onwards. In the outdoor version, traditonally played at fairgrounds or pubs, the aim was to knock the doll off a post using sticks. The game is still played today, mainly in Oxfordshire and the neighbouring counties. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Brent Museum | Rights holder: | Brent Museum | Subjects: | Leisure | Temporal: | c. 1900 - c. 1910 | Source: | Brent Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
