I grew up with jacks!
Posted 7/1/2008 by LYNDA W TOMLINSON

I was so impressed with the quality "feel" of these jacks. They are the corrrect size, but so much smoother to the touch than what I had as a kid. I'm sure my granddaughters will enjoy them.

authentic!

a wonderful surprise to find the real thing, and in a high-quality tin box that makes it easy to store and transport. Love the "directions" on how to play all the games that I remember.

Just what I was looking for...

I was looking for some better quality jacks than I could find at any regular toy shop. These are a great weight and quality. I have 4 kids and wanted to teach them about jacks since I loved them as a child. I even ordered more as gifts after I tried these.

The woman that wanted the jacks loves them. They play jacks at VFW 2185 here in Panama City, FL on the game night.

Review for Jumbo Jacks Tin
Posted 12/25/2007 by Patricia J. Newberry

Rating:

I played jacks as a child. I have been disappointed with the plastic versions my twin 7 year old daughters have received in the past. It is impossible to play jacks with giant plastic jacks! This set is wonderful! The red rubber balls are the right size, the jacks are sturdy and distinctive, 5 gold and 5 silver. The booklet enclosed is easy to understand and very helpful. My daughters each received a set today and we spent an hour together playing "onesies" and advancing to "twosies." I am very very happy with the product and would gladly purchase again as a gift.

The metal jacks are too big. I think they should be the size of the plastic jacks.

I ordered this for a friend who wanted to give her grandchildren a bit of 'nostalgia'. When the package came in she opened it and was thrilled. She said it reminded her of when she was a little girl!

I love these jacks and I love the tin box they come in. They remind me of the jacks we used to use as children. I bought these so that when the grandchildren come over we can play with them, after I teach them how to use them, of course. Thanks so much for having them available to us.

I love the tin they came in. They are for christmas presents for my daughter-in-laws.They are in their 30's. I just wanted to bring them a little nostalia. I think they will love them. They are bigger than the ones I used to play with, but that's ok.

Review of Jumbo Jacks Tin
Posted 10/8/2007 by L.D. Cherry

Rating:

It is very difficult to find good, heavy, high quality jacks in stores and even in specialty toy stores. Generally, the jacks you can find are plastic. The jumbo jacks are just like a set I had when I was a little girl. They are well balanced and throw just right. I am teaching a friend's little girl how to play the game. In my opinion, these are perfect. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to pass on the skill of the game and play with authenic, quality jacks. I am also impress with their presentation in the tin box.

Just what I was looking for - authentic Jacks, not the plastic or rubber ones. A friend of mine told me about her experience playing Jacks as a child. I remembered it when I saw the Jacks on your website. I purchased the Jacks as a hostess gift for the next time she had me over for dinner. She was delighted! Thanks!

Jacks and Pick Up Sticks Quality
Posted 2/8/2007

Rating:

The jacks were well made. They came in attractive, collectible tin. (Also purchased the Pick Up Sticks. They were well made, contained in a suede pouch.) My girls were pleasantly surprised at the presentation and had a lot of fun learning how to play. It was truly a "blast from the past."

These jacks are great. They are fat and heavy! I love them! The instructions are complete. All the game I can remember and even more. A great gift.

If your childhood included playing Jacks with a rubber ball and a handful of metal Jacks, welcome back to your past! This is a great road back to 1955!

Big, hard to lose jacks. I bought them for an after-school program and the kids love them.

Exactly what I was looking for. Metal Jacks - not that cheap plastic kind most often sold.

Back Down Memory Lane

The quality of this toy is great. The jacks are a solid metal; the balls are made of a good rubber with just the right amount of bounce. The Jumbo Jacks are bigger than when I was a child but so am I! They are sized so that an adult can play along with a child, but they are not too big like some sets I have seen. My sisters and I have been looking for a set like this and it has been difficult to find. This toy can prepare a child for math through sets and multiplication (onesies, twosies, etc.) Growing up we played all the way to ten. I can hardly wait to surprise my sister with a set.

Jumbo Jacks

My 17 year old daughter has learned jacks from me. She now is going to be a camp counselor this coming summer and wanted to have these to teach these 8 and 9 year olds the great fun they can have playing jacks. Since my daughter has gone to a private school with kids that get into problems with drugs and gambling she thought this would be a fun outlet to teach young girls that they can have fun together and not by playing cards and internet gambling. I thank you.

Excellent Quality Product

These jacks are of the highest quality. My 63 year old mother, 40 year old sister, and myself enjoyed playing - even though the jacks were purchased as a Christmas gift for my 11 year old daughter and my 6 year old niece. Thanks for providing such a high quality product.
