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.

    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?

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

    I think it like gerberbaby, one of the original games must be a real treasure

    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!

    Fascinating...this might be worth some money at an auction.
