Details

The picture on the box shows Bruintje Bear standing on a number of books to reach a box on the rack; this picture also refers to a puzzle in the box. Content: 36 cards of which 6 puzzles can be made. The rules of the game are on the inside of the box. The general layout of the box gives the impression of a game from the 'paper shortage' time, around 1944. Also compare the primitive colored Monopoly boxes from 1944-45. The box shows a white Jumbo logo, not in a bar. The Jumbo logos in the horizontal bar were used for the first time in 1946, with 2 H's in the elephant. On the label on the lid is a knowledge number K360. This number was assigned to printer Portielje in Amsterdam. These numbers were introduced in 1941 and used until about 1947. It was not until 1949 that Jumbo took over the cardboard factory "Best Ever", which was later renamed the Dutch Games Factory (Dutch Games Factory), as part of the intention to focus more on the production of games. NSF). This is an indication that this Bruintje Bear game must be one of the earliest games marketed under the brand name "Jumbo" (possibly a prototype) (Jumbo mainly made toys for this). The shelves were probably sold loose in a paper bag (without print) in 1944. The game is extremely rare, so this item is subject to the "what a madman gives it" principle. A multiple of the value in the catalog can therefore be realized if such a game were actually offered. Source photos: Toy Museum Deventer
