my recollection is mid-60's, perhaps earlier with my older cousins (I recall needing to be supervised .. guess they thought I'd eat the filings)?

Did you know …
Outhouse Hollyhocks
According to folklore, hollyhocks were once called "outhouse flowers". These tall flowers were grown around outhouses to hide the privy. The practice was so common that the sight of hollyhocks told guests where the outhouse was located.
In fact, there are some seed varieties of the flower that are named Outhouse Hollyhock.

On this day in 1955, BORAX III, an experimental nuclear reactor, allowed the City of Arco, Idaho, to become the first city lit solely by nuclear power. EBR-1, the first reactor to create usable electricity, paved the way for BORAX & is now a National Historic Landmark. EBR-I is now a National Historic Landmark and visitors are able to tour it for free: Experimental Breeder Reactor-I (EBR-I) - INL

I used to play these at my aunt/uncle's house and at my grandparent's house. No one was ever maimed or killed.
