Item Details

Early 20th Century Aunt Sally English Fairground Game

We share what we love, and we love this oversized early 20th Century example of a carved wood Fairground Aunt Sally knock down game. This game was traditionally played in central English pubs and fairgrounds. An Aunt Sally was originally the modelled head of an old woman with a clay pipe in her mouth; the object was for players to throw sticks at the head to break the pipe.
