We-ja Girl Board. A Barrel of Fun, ca. 1940s. Screenprint on hardboard Ouija board with wooden planchette. Directions printed verso. Full color variant of the board. 11 ¾ x 17 ¾". Minor scuffs and abrasions, else very good.“Although one of the most prolific talking board producers of the WWII Ouija craze, little is known about the company known only as A Barrel of Fun. The company made relatively simple designs printed directly on masonite boards, with names like Crystal Gazer, Talking Board, and We-Ja Girl. The company, whose origins and even factory location remain lost to history, introduced their first boards sometime around early 1945, with the debut of the We-Ja Girl, which they solicited as “The Year's Most Exciting Game." – Brandon Hodge, The Mysterious Planchette
