The date given in BM and NUC pre-1956 (cited below), [1879?], seems unlikely, as battledores were rarely produced after the 1850s; this battledore was probably produced between 1830 and 1850.

At least 4 issues of The new royal battledore appeared, all with identical covers, while varying on the inside; this issue has woodcuts of a weaver, angel and cherub, and old lady and cat. The lessons in each issue are the same.
