Description

An antique game of Squails, complete with its original sixteen wooden discs, the  wooden swoggle and the lead jack. The  mahogany box has a sliding lid and is almost certainly from the famous games maker John Jacques.
Great  to be complete. The box measures 21.5cm w x 11.5cm d x 3cm h.
C1890
The old English game of Squails was played on a round table and the objective was to hit discs with the heel of the hand from the edge of the table at a small lead target in the centre called a "jack". If the jack was moved more than six inches it was replaced. Once all sixteen Squails had been played, they scored 16 for the squail nearest to the target down to 1 for the squail furthest away. Often, a squail would be directed with the aim of knocking an opponents squail away, as much as to end up near the target, in the same manner as for bowls.
