I have an interesting notice to pass on to the group. My cousin, Janice Prittie, of Victoria (British Columbia), has recently marketed a playset that was first sold in the 1920's. Our grandfather, Frank Arthur Whitney (son of Arthur Barton, son of Baxter, son of Chester, son of Aaron, son of Nathan, son of Nathan, son of Thomas, son of Thomas, son of John & Elinor) went to the Yukon in 1904 as part of the Klondike Gold Rush. He never found any gold but had a mountain named after him (obviously Mount Whitney named on September 11, 1973, it lies at latitude 65 degrees 38' 00" and longitude 139 degrees 37' 30", but I digress). He met our grandmother, Theos Juliet (Rosman) Whitney. Theos purchased some of these playsets while down south and brought them back up to her children. As a child I can remember playing with them as well as they were still around. Janice decided to remarket them and they were chosen as one of the hot Christmas toys by the Canadian Toy Association (text follows). The point in telling you this is that Janice named her company T. J. Whitney's Traditional Toys in memory of our grandmother. The text from the Canadian Toy Association is "Here's a flash from the past that's worth revisiting: WOODEN MARBLES AND BLOCKS is a stunning reproduction of a 1920s playset that is on display at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal. This unique set of embossed wood blocks and coloured wood marbles is a great tactile experience that inspires wonderful abstract designs and patterns in the hands of young and old. The set comes in an ingenious box with an old-style illustration by famous advertising illustrator Norman Mills Price. (T.J. Whitney's Traditional Toys, Victoria, B.C." They are also being marketed in the Lee Valley Christmas catalogue but the T. J. Whitney Traditional Toys name has been removed for whatever reason. If anyone is interested I could contact her for more details. The article had her home phone number and I suspect her success has forced her to retail outside of her home so I will try to find a better number. Though its late for Christmas shopping it is certainly of interest for collectors and those who may be thinking of future purchases for young children. Hugh Whitney St. John's, Newfoundland Canada
