In the 12 Track Editions I have several copies of a brochure by the former POW designers, M.J.C. - The Marine Jockey Commission. To read that brochure follow this link.
The game owes much to Bingo and its name is a pun on the slang or common name for Bingo "Housie, Housie".
The game's design, particularly the 8 Track version may have been inspired by the packaging of Bar One Cigarettes, a popular brand in the 1940s.
Bar One Cigarette Advert
There is no mention of Castell Brothers on the box or rules and no addresses are given.
