I first heard about "piddiddle" from my dad, who came of driving age
in 1945.  I can't recall all the particulars of the story he told
me, so I've sent him an e-mail.  But apparently, from what I do
remember, teenagers in mid-1940's central Pennsylvania knew all
about "piddiddle."  So the game is at least that old.
