Retro




Some friends found a stash of old board games in the cellar of the family farmhouse. This Monopoly game dates to 1935--one of the originals.

  1. Treat that with respect! Such a cool find, and very well documented with the retro feel. Are the game pieces made of wood, and is the train engine painted red?

  2. The houses and hotels are wood. I don't remember if the train was red.

  9. I have never seen a 1936 version of Monopoly but I like the original rather than all the spinoffs. Hmmmm, family farm house - they are lucky the mice/other critters didn't make lunch of the treasure!
