The Barrel Of Monkeys is a classic toy by Lakeside in the 1960s. Original copies came in a cardboard barrel with a monkey handle on the plastic lid (missing on my copy). A few years later, they came in a plastic barrel with a paper band around it. The set consisted of twelve monkeys in three different colors although later versions (by Hasbro and/or Milton Bradley) had 16 monkeys, normally all the same color. Both the cardboard and plastic games are item number 8312 from 1965. The Giant Barrel of Monkeys by Lakeside, item number 8303 dated 1966, is impressive with five in monkeys. The game was reimagined as the Six Flags exclusive "Barrel of Taz" (dated 1997, no item number). I wish I had had the forethought to take pictures of the Giant set with the smaller sets but I did not.
