Whip-Dee-Doo (Game)
$22.00
Remember when we weren’t inundated with screens and you had to find fun by actually getting off the couch? It’s getting harder to recall those days, but this handmade wooden toy should spark some nostalgia and old school physical fun.
The goal? Use the paddle to pull or swing the irritated ball up into the air and then try to land it through the first two holes, on the third, or atop the peg (almost impossible).
Instructions are provided that offer various challenges and unique ways to play.

Another original, copyrighted design from ROSSLANDS.
• Process •
Designs are original concepts, drawn on paper, transferred to wood which is cut and sanded by hand, then painted by hand using non-toxic water-based paint (White, Red, and Black). The leather strap is glued internally to a wooden ball at one end, and hand-tied to the paddle at the other.
Please note: Our production methods are old-school (nothing digital or outsourced), so there will be slight imperfections and differences from item to item. Every item is handmade, so the product you receive will resemble closely with what is shown on the website, but not be an exact duplicate. We feel this lends to the authenticity and value of the artwork.

A Brine of the Times
Behind the name ROSSLANDS.
While ROSSLANDS as a business is a relatively new, the name is generations old.
Our German ancestors, armed with oversized leather suitcases and a secret pickle recipe, emigrated to America and tagged a generous swath of local farmland for their own. This Ross family plot was ingeniously named ROSSLANDS.
From there – among the various ventures undertaken – one relative attempted to set up shop in downtown Cincinnati selling the “famous” family pickles. A property owner offered him a storefront in trade for the proprietary recipe, but to no avail... and the rest is history – including the recipe, now forgotten, and the storefront, now a Starbucks (probably).
This business pays homage to these unique family beginnings by recognizing our city’s broad, colorful local history: showcasing unique historical anecdotes, artifacts and traditions, and presenting them in interesting and amusing ways… among other things.
