Not for sale. Just felt like posting my set. I got it for Christmas in...1952. Yikes. I'm officially old. I read these books so much they're falling apart, but in a way it would be sad if they were in perfect, unloved condition. There are 12 - one for each month. The box shows all the characters from the stories. If it was in better shape it would be worth $100. Maybe my mother should have put it away!
Have never seen that set before. Absolutely charming; can easily see why you loved (almost) to pieces. Debora
This reminds me of how I managed to destroy pretty much anything as a child: if it didn't get cut-up, painted or de-assembled, it was sure to be covered in breadcrumbs and cheese.. I liked to eat in my room. And all that continued for a worryingly long time. I guess I was just bored.
Hi, My nephews are just stunned. I have most of my games as a child in great condition. My nephews are always wanting to play Monopoly with my 1940 set. Their mother bought them a new set last year for Christmas. It is still unused except for one time. They used it and hated it, they always want to use my old set. I keep telling her do not waste money on new games. So far she has bought them Monopoly, Clue and Cootie and three or four others, they hate them and will never use them. The kids discovered that old games were not made of plastic but wood and metal and for some reason more fun. They would rather play Royal Rummy using my old oil cloth painted set than the fancy printed boards from a new one. greg
