Very rare early Monopoly game after Parker Brothers purchased it from Charles Darrow in 1935. Box and board are marked US Patent Office Patent Pending which with other evidence places the date of production to c. August - September 1935.
The board has no property values which is another indicator of dating and an extremely rare state of production. The money is also of a very early design rarely seen. The community chest and chance cards are without illustration. The income tax square charges 10% or $300 rather than the traditional $200. The game includes board, money, 6 wooden playing pieces, community chest and chance cards. Rules are missing. This version of the game is as hard to find as hen's teeth and would make the pride and joy of most game and toy collections. Condition is good meaning that everything is clean and whole except for the box which has considerable delapidation at the corners (split or fraying) and the board is bit warped with some fraying at the corners. Whatever defects this set has, it is in well above average condition for this set of this age and rarity. We are certain that you will be pleased with this super rare Monopoly set. |
