    If I remember correctly it came with instructions for at least 50 games. My wife and I used to play with it many times for recreation. We did not have a tv when we got married so did things like that for recreation. We knew some other games too that were even more fun.

    And how about Roy Rogers. Gabby Hays. Gene Autry. Randolf Scott. And a few others. Shoot, probably many today never even heard of John Wayne.

    My grandmothers had these.
    Wringer washers were still available into the late 70's early 80's as I remember my grandfather buying my grandmother a new wringer washer then,
