The Tic-Tac-Toe pieces used to play the game are also made of wood and they have attractive marine-themed anchors or ship’s wheels in brass on the top.

Tic-Tac-Toe is the name given during the 20th century in the USA to what the UK calls Noughts and Crosses.

Here, the traditional 0 and X are replaced by the anchor and ship’s wheel.

The box is compartmentalised not only so that the pieces can be stored safely but also so that the game can be played in the box.
