My maiden name contains the word "nutt" so my dad & step-mom or my grandparents (I forget which, silly pregnancy brain!) changed the name of the card game to match our name lol. We get together and play once a month in the cold weather months because my dad and step-mom sell Italian Ice at festivals over the summer and that is the off-season. Whoever wins gets to pick their favorite package of nuts as a prize and they also get to take home this lovely trophy my dad made.
I won once and got to bring the trophy home and then the last time we played before the Italian Ice season started, Jim came in second to a "guest" out-of-town player, so we got to bring the trophy home until the next game, which I think is in December (the trophy has to stay with family and be in Ohio)!! So Mr. Peanut gets to live with us for a while. Don't you wish you could have one too???

That is so cool and probably a collectible. I have a magnet of him and I love it. Great take on the theme too :)
Love it! Not only your Mr. Peanut trophy photo but the story of the game as well. Now I wish I was a Nutt!! :)

Love it! You have a creative family.
Growing up my sister was a fan of Mr. Peanut, so we had collectibles around. Always in blue, though. Never wondered about that before.
