Told him that all I could find on <u>CHINESE CHECKERS</u> was that<br>
it became popular in the 1930's.<br>
He has some games he is saving for me. One I am pretty <br>
sure is the one I saw in Verhulst's column - <u>HEUMANIA TIC-TAC-TOE</u>.<br>
Two are by <u>Odier</u> - one being <u>LE TRIOKER</u> no doubt and the<br>
other being similar with square pcs. I'll contact him after<br>
Thanksgiving about my driving over there.<br>
When in Penna. he picked up a game for $1.00 which was supposed <br>
to be an old game. This may be <u>MINI-HEXCHECKERS</u>.<br>
He has seen card games in the antique stores but hasn't<br>
paid much attention to them since he didn't think I'd be<br>
interested. I said I would be if it wasn't just another variation<br>
of <u>AUTHORS</u>. He has seen <u>SHERLOCK HOLMES</u> in a few places at<br>
not very high prices. If he sees it again he'll pick it up for me.<br>
He did get an original <u>UNCLE WIGGILY</u> board for 25 [cents] which<br>
he will give me.<br>
