1905 - Iddy Umpty - De La Rue
This is dated from the Registration No 423765.
The expression Iddy Uppy was slang for a signaller in the army.
“Iddy Umpty” is a representation of the dots and dashes of the Morse code. The troops were taught to recognise a dot or a dash by the sound of the signalling machine: a dot made an “iddy” sound and a dash sounded like “umpty”.
So ‘Iddy Umpty’ in that way became slang for a signaller.
Iddy Umpty Condition . Complete – Cards/rules/ very good – Box very good – lightly scuffed one corner split.
Postage / As postage often changes it will be provided at time of purchase. Postage will be at cost rounded up to the nearest £1.00 to cover packaging.
