Cootie Game, 1949 Cootie Game, Schaper Mfg Co, Sears Roebuck and Co, Childrens Game, Mid Century Game
In 1948, Herbert W. Schaper was a mailman in Minneapolis and a fisherman who made his own lures. One day, he added six legs to a lure that he had whittled and called it a “Cootie.” Starting out with a basement factory in his home and $1200 in 1949, he transformed the fishing lure into the Cootie game that reached $1.5 million in sales by 1953.
The directions for play are printed inside the cover and are easy to read. We do not have a dice and one of the legs is damaged. This is the original box. It does have some shelf ware on the corners.
The inside states that it was copyrighted in 1949. There is even the original price sticker on the box from Sears, Roebuck and Co. It sold then for $1.69.
The price also includes free Priority Mail within the US and free shipping insurance.
The box is 6.25" in wide, 1.75" high and 9.25" long.
This retro game is adorable. We have described it all so that you may buy with confidence.
