Name this Historic Toy! The Online Version | Vermont Digital Newspaper Project (VTDNP)

Last weekend at our booth for the Vermont History Expo, we offered a fun game for visitors to test their knowledge of historic toys. Using newspaper advertisements from between 1895-1922 on Chronicling America, we provided images of popular toys and visitors had to guess what the toy might have been. It was so popular we decided to make an online version of it. While we don’t have candy for the successful online player like we did at the Expo, we can offer a hearty congrats!
