The wraparound cover/top apron label has a pink border, then a black outline around a gray overall background.

"TIDDLEDY" (with letters rising upward from the "T" to the "L" and then slightly downward to the "Y") appears across the top of the cover from left to right-of-center. "RING." appears below, starting below "ED". The text is yellow with a black outilne.

"A NEW" above "GAME OF" above "SKILL" (in blue) appears below "RING.".

The game target is shown below the "L" and to the left of "RING." It consists of a barber pole (with alternating red and white diagonal stripes) on a square brown wooden stand. The barber pole shows 8 yellow hooks at two levels on the pole. 4 quoit-shaped winks appear over the hooks (1 green, 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 blue). An additional red quoit is in the air at left, a green one is resting on a top edge of the stand, and a red one is resting at an angle on the side of the stand.

In the lower left corner, a left hand is holding a green squidger on a red quoit on a felt pad, with a yellow quoit nearby. In the lower right corner, a right hand is holding a red squidger on a yellow quoit on a felt pad, with red, green, and yellow quoits nearby.

"216" (in black) is shown in the lower left corner on the gray background.

Bottom side apron (pink outer border, black outline, then yellow inner background): a brown and black cat at left is pawing a red quoit, and a white cat just right of center has kicked a blue quoit in the air behind it and is pawing a red quoit. The barber pole target with hooks appears between the cats. "SEVERAL CAN" above "PLAY IT" (in blue) appears at upper right. A right hand is shown at lower right, holding a red squidger on a blue quoit on a felt pad. 6 additional quoits of various colors also appear.

Right side apron (same general colors): at left, a boy (dark blue suit, white shirt, red bowtie, brown hair) is holding the barber pole target with quoits on it in his left hand. At right, a girl (light blue sweater, red blouse, brown hair with red bow in it) is clapping, facing left. At upper right: "ALL ON FIRST" over "TIME!" over "I DID IT!" (in blue).

Top side apron (same general colors): "IF YOU LIKE THIS GAME" over "ASK TO SEE" (in blue), with "RING A PIN" (in blue on an upward curve) at left below an illustration of its game target, "AND THE" (in blue) at center, and "RABBIT WARREN" (In blue on a downward curve) at right below an illustration of its game target. At lower left: "MANUFACTURED BY" above "KLEIN & KLAUDER DESSAU" (in red). At lower right: "LONDON AGENT: R. DUNN & Co." above "63, BARBICAN, E.C." (in red).

Left side apron (pink outer border, black outline): a girl (green dress, blonde hair) at left, looking right at barber pole target with hooks, as a boy (yellow outfit, white shirt, blue bowtie, flat hat), at right, is holding a red squidger on a blue wink on a pad, shooting it toward the barber pole target. All are on a wide red seat marked "G. W. R." (Great Western Railway) on its upright cushion.
