Little Ricky’s Party Game

In the 1957 I Love Lucy episode “Lucy and Superman”, we see a traditional “pin the tail on the donkey” game at little Ricky’s birthday party. This game was a fixture at children’s parties for generations back to the 1800’s. Ricky Jr. game appears to be  “Donkey Party”  by Whitman Publishing Company.
