Mystic Ouija / Combination Three in One Board. Minneapolis: Medalie Manufacturing, The Scotty Line, ca. 1940s. Double-sided screen-printed hardboard with a Ouija board on one side, and a checkers and tic-tac-toe board on the other. 11 ¾ x 17 ¾". Scattered scuffing, and staining. Very good.
“Ouija's wartime boom encouraged Medalie Manufacturing of Minneapolis to introduce their line of double-sided talking boards in late 1944. While the company is most well-known for its production of the relatively common Mystic Medium talking boards, this rare example is named the Mystic Ouija, likely reflecting an early change made by the manufacturers to dodge possible trademark litigation from Ouija's manufacturer. Widely advertised and pitched as “Three Games in One," the boards' reverse featured a checkerboard and a game called “Who Wins Now?"
