The educational games are housed in two small commercial portfolios produced by Burgess Publishing Company for their line of printed educational games.

Contemporary ink signature of Jane Ehrhard on the back of both portfolios. One red portfolio is printed with the title "File O' Fun for social recreation," with Jane A. Harris listed as the author.
