Vintage Joy Scramble Wooden Pick Up Sticks. Tube measures about 8 3/4" in height by 1 1/4" wide. Made by Artwood Toy Mfg. Co., New York, N.Y.. Good condition. I do not know if all of the sticks are there or if they are all original.

Relive the simple charm of mid-century play with this vintage Joy Scramble Stix pick-up sticks set. Manufactured by the Artwood Toy Mfg. Co. Inc. in New York, this "International Game" was a staple of family entertainment during the 1940s and 1950s. The game tube stands approximately 8 3/4 inches tall and retains its vibrant red and blue graphics, embodying the nostalgic aesthetic of 20th-century American toy design.

This set consists of slender wooden sticks in various colors, each designed to test a player's hand-eye coordination and patience. While pick-up sticks is a straightforward dexterity game, it provided hours of competitive fun for generations before the advent of electronic toys. The original cardboard canister is in good condition and this set remains a wonderful piece for collectors of vintage advertising or classic childhood memorabilia.

This item is vintage, over 70 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw, I would reach out prior to sending it.
