Bradley's Telegraph Game, circa 1900
Add to SetSummary
Children in the early 1900s could imagine they ran a telegraph office with this play set. This box once held a copy of the Morse code, blank telegrams, rubber stamps and two telegraph tickers to create the dots and dashes needed to send messages. This role-playing provided children with valuable learning experiences and helped them develop social skills.
