Description
Mr. John Tom Rutter playing tipcat, or catty, in the garden of his home, Gunnerside ( Swaledale). The game is played with a small stick, sharpened at both ends like a pencil. The stick is placed on the ground, and one of the pointed ends hit with another stick to make it jump. Once in the air, the pointed stick is hit as far as possible. Mr. Rutter played the game in his mining days, and said that the stick used to be hit as far as fifty yards.
Mounted on Photo File card. With ms. notes and catalogue details in the hand of Werner Kissling. (Notes based on conversation with Mr. Rutter.) Card 1 in a series of 4.
Originally held in Photo File: Games.
