MY
PICTURES
This set is the oldest one I currently posess. It dates back to 1938. I bought it on auction at eBay.
These are the Chance & Community Chest cards.
This is the very old fashioned board
The box and the board come seperately
The Patent Number mentioned is 453689 The Patent Applied for was 3796/36
A Title Deed for Mayfair
The little red document there states that, "Monopoly is the new game that has taken England by storm" !!!
When I first saw that it took me aback a bit because to me Monopoly is nowhere near new!

Just think - 7'6 was about 37 pence in those days and you pay about �17 nowadays. It would be great if board games only cost 37p!!!
These are the general rules of the Monopoly game Here is an old �500 Monopoly bill.
