I have a complete Monopoly set from my late grandmothers attic. They used coal to heat the house and had a fire at one time, so the game box is rough. Grandmother was born in 1905, so I guess this game is a second printing from Parker Bros. Ship, lantern, purse (or pocketbook), rocking horse, top hat, cannon, iron, car, shoe, thimble ,wood hotels & houses. I am trying to find out more about this game set. Marvin Gardens rent is $22, and there is a No. 9 on the end of the box. The patent # is 1,509,312.
Marvin Garden's rent is $22 & the copy right on the game sheet is 1935.
It has No 9 on the end of the box.
Patent # 1,509,312
I believe you have the beautiful 1936 No. 9 White box, it has 2 patent numbers on the instructions and the box lid. The second patent is for Elizabeth J. Magie original concept for the Monopoly game- The Landlord's game.
The patent number is from September 23, 1924.
Okay you guys are killing me - I need to dig out all my vintage board games now! :)
