    It was Gibbs Dentifrice (not toothpaste) around a century ago, I believe. My mum and her sisters had a Gibbs Dentifrice board game - you had to escape Giant Decay and reach the Land of Health and Happiness, avoiding landing on squares such as Caries Wood. I still have it!
  • I would love to see that game @Aravis!! It sounds like fun!
  • Incidentally, the very first British TV advert (1955) was for Gibbs toothpaste. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucrqRsrNKW8

    I’ll take a photo and consult the Styx at the weekend to work out how to post it on this thread. We have a few games from my aunt’s house. I don’t know precisely how old the games are but the three sisters were born in 1918, 1921 and 1922, and no children have lived in the house since then.

    Very briefly, you have to post it on a free upload site, and then link to it from the Ship. You can’t post photos directly onto the Ship.
