Flinch Card Company with SWASTIKAS
Four sets 1 – 14 of Turkey Wishbones, Swastikas with Shieks, Horses and Lovely Ladies with 4-leaf Clovers plus Joker; 57 cards in total

Cards have been played and have expected handling wear. Box is a Pit Game Box not the original Roddles Box.
Roodles card game was devised by Arthur J Patterson (1869-1948) and copyrighted in 1912. The set contains 57 cards comprising 1-14 in each suit of wishbones, horseshoes, shamrocks and swastikas plus a Roodles joker card who juggles all the suit symbols.
The game is played similar to Rummy and the aim is to get rid of all cards in hand.
Patterson was an avid card player and in 1901 he invented a new game called “Flinch”, subsequently running the Flinch Card Company, Kalamazoo, MI to sell the game. Roodles was invented in 1912 and marketed by the same company.
Included are a facsimile of the rules.
