An antique Tivoli game, a 19th-century parlor game that eventually evolved into early “pin games” and later into pinball. It hangs on our wall as a decoration. Looking at it today, I randomly did some research. Turns out it is from 1860ish, has the directions still in the back, which is rare, and is worth a lot more than the $10 or so we paid for it years ago.

Amazing! I always say you are a great storyteller as well as the best photographer!!!!
…. and you’re a great great great great grandparents probably would’ve yelled at you for “playing too much to much Tivoli “ instead of cutting wood, tending to the vegetables, and getting an education at the one room school…. Times changed, but they stay the same…..
very cool !!!
