Vintage 1958 Scrabble for Juniors - Spear’s Games (Complete)

A wonderful 1958 edition of Scrabble for Juniors, produced by J. W. Spear & Sons in England. A beautiful example of mid-century children’s game design, rich with colour, illustration, and that unmistakable midcentury optimism for learning through play.

The double-sided board features charming pictorial letter tiles - animals, everyday objects, and playful motifs, designed to help young players build words visually as well as phonetically. The graphics are bold and joyful, with a soft, time-worn palette that feels as appealing today as it would have done spread out on a living room floor in the late 1950s.

Complete with its original box, instruction leaflet, and wooden letter tiles, this set is as much a nostalgic object as it is a game. Whether played, displayed, or simply treasured, it speaks to slower afternoons, shared tables, and the quiet rituals of family life.

A particularly lovely piece for collectors of vintage games, graphic ephemera, or anyone drawn to childhood objects that carry warmth, memory, and story.
