Milton Bradley “World’s Best Games” Catalog
Absorbed into Hasbro in 1984, Milton Bradley was started in 1860 and spent decades crafting and publishing games for families all across the US. The company’s founder, Milton Bradley, was a believer in game design and even spent time on educational pursuits — he was part of the group of educators and influencers who brought “Kindergarten” to the US — and the company is well worth researching if you’re interested in the history of games in the US.
As part of your research, you should take a look at this old Milton Bradley catalog. Posted at archive.org, this is from the late 1800s or early 1900s — I didn’t see a date — and the design and writing are first rate entertainment!
