Catalogue information
On the bottom of the box it says "This Monopoly game is a replica of the original version. The board and the cards are also almost identical to the first Dutch Monopoly." What is meant by "the first Dutch Monopoly" is not very clear, because it is a copy, with elements from the various variants, of the game Monopoly De Luxe, patent no.453689 from the years 1946 to 1970. there are also deviations. So, it now says <> in the white band with red stripes. Above that is Parker's vignette with spiral. The "locomotive picture" with the predecessor of Uncle Pennybags is printed on both the black lid and the black back of the game board. In addition, it contains the detailed registration story, starting with "Registered in US Patent Office Marca Registrada. .... Made in France." In contrast to the original versions, these lines are also under the "locomotive picture" on the board, instead of "Lawfully deposited" and whether or not the name of (Smeets and) Schippers. In the box is the separate compartment with an orange border, for storing the property deeds. The edge of the inner box is orange-red. Monopoly is written on the narrow sides of the lid.
