Board game:The Game of Bear Hunters

Milton Bradley game manufacturers produced this "Bear Hunters" board game sometime after 1920. The firm purchased the inventory and business of former rivals McLoughlin Brothers that year. Over the next few years, Milton Bradley re-published many McLoughlin game titles, and "The Game of Bear Hunters" is one example. When McLoughlin produced the game around 1870, it lacked a game box. Many firms published loose game board with printed instructions; these usually specified that players use a button or other small object as a playing piece. Milton Bradley's board graphics, in this game, directly resemble the graphic McLoughlin used some 50 years earlier.
