3 Christmas Treasure Hunt - The Dining Room Buffet

Title: 3 Christmas Treasure Hunt - The Dining Room Buffet
Caption: in botom drawer of befay in dinning room
Identifier: WFA_140
Alternative Identifier: 3
Description: Hand drawing of the dining room buffet has a fruit basket and a pair of candlesticks on top. An arrow points to the bottom drawer where the next clue can be found.
Commentary: Lacking television, private radios, or cell phones, children of missionaries devised their own means of entertainment. Donald Willmott (age 9) created this fun game for his younger brother Richard Willmott (age 4). The artifacts in the drawings match those seen in photographs and that remain in the family, so this series shows the inside of a missionary household.
