A copyright date of 1888 marks the McLoughlin Brothers game "Old Fashioned Jack Straws." During the late 19th century the game often featured a group of wooden tool-shapes, instead of plain sticks. These tools include saw shapes, ladder shapes, and hammers with elongated handles. The box cover design features the bright chromolithography typical of McLoughlin Brothers games.
