The Tiddlywinks Game Catalog, compiled by Rick Tucker, includes a list of all known tiddlywinks publishers and games.  Rick's AGCA article on collectible tiddlywinks games takes you on a whirlwind historical tour of tiddledy winks (the original trademark for the game in England) and tiddlywinks games from the Victorian era to the present day.   The American Game Collectors Association (AGCA) is the foremost organization dedicated to the history and preservation of board games, card games, and puzzles (jigsaw and dexterity).

And contact Rick Tucker if you have antique tiddlywinks sets to sell or to add to the catalog. Check out Rick's want list.
