Cover Description

The cover has a wraparound label with a red outer border and then a black line border. The background is generally yellow except near the bottom, which has an offwhite background.

A red ring appears in the upper left corner, with white inside. On the white background, a hand is holding a rod (white with black outline) agains a jackstraw (black with red tip). Around bottom appears the phrase "MAGNETISM UTILIZED IN A NEW WAY".

A table fills most of the label, sporting a tablecloth that's yellow on top and orange/yellow on the sides. The tablecloth extends down near the floor, with decorative orange half-circles inside two horizontal red lines near the bottom of it. The bottom of the tablecloth has a yellow/orange fringe.

Five people surround the table. At left, a girl (red dress, blonde hair) is leaning over the table with her feet behind her on a chair. Above her is an older woman (gray curly hair, yellow dress). To her right a young boy or girl (blonde hair, white frilly collar, white shirt) is sitting down at the table. To his right, a man (brown hair, brown mustache, gray coat, red tie, white shirt, yellow scarf with black chevrons) is holding a large white paper and is seated and looking on. To his right, a woman (brown/red hair, red jacket, white blouse) is standing and leaning over with her right hand at the center of the table. To her right, a boy (brown-red hair, light blue outfit, white shirt underneath) is standing and leaning in to the table with his right hand extended over the table. On the yellow tablecloth, a variety of black jack straws are stewn about.

"MAGNETIC" (red with black outline) over "JACK STRAWS" (light blue with black outline) appear over the side of the tablecloth hanging down.

Between "MAGNETIC" and "JACK STRAWS", "TRADE MARK REGISTERED" appears in black.

Below the tablecloth, the "THE WORLD'S" "BRADLEY'S" "GAMES" roundel logo appears at left, then "INTERESTING, UNIQUE, CAPTIVATING TO YOUNG AND OLD" (in black) across the center.

Below, "COPYRIGHTED 1920" appears (in black), and to the right, "MILTON BRADLEY CO., SPRINGFIELD, MASS. U.S.A." is shown.
