Details

Type Z3. For a detailed overview of the differences between the Dutch black boxes see also http://vlinden.com/monopoly. These De Luxe editions have the mention "Nederlandsche Uitgave", with which the old spelling is used again, in contrast to the first Dutch edition Z1, which reads "Nederlandse Uitgave". There are versions in various colors, probably the result of material scarcity during the war. The boxes contain the mention "Copyright v.P. & R.B.N.V." which stands for the then import and export company Van Perlstein & Roeper Bosch nv, located in the Hirsch building at the Leidseplein in Amsterdam. The spelling with -sche was valid until 14 / 2-1947, which is already an indication from which period these editions date. On the lid it says, in a white / red band "MONOPOLY DE LUXE". The black / red picture with MONOPOLY, 2 locomotives and the "Uncle Pennybags" predecessor above a ƒ-sign, is stuck on the board as well as on the lid. The plate is 47.5 cm long and the plate does not show number 14034. Both plate halves are glued together with a black band. the text "De Luxe" is mentioned here on the picture in contrast to the lid. With some exempolaren, including a copy in the possession of Rob de Jong, this plate is also stuck on the box itself. Since there are two different images, one with the text "de Luxe" and one without that text, it is likely that the appearance of the image with the text was a sloppiness during assembly. Most editions of this copy do not have a black line above the text in the "Income Tax" "Extra Tax" fields (type Z3.1). However, there are copies (the copy by Rob de Jong already mentioned) where that black stripe is there and also the number 14034 is on the sticker on the board (type Z3.2). The 6 tokens are made of cardboard and stand on black wooden feet. The pink Chance and yellow Community Chest cards have rounded corners and are not numbered. Different from the later boxes from the 1950s, which only had a mahogany outer edge of the box, this box also has a mahogany border along the compartments in the box. In one issue a misprint was discovered on a Community Chest card: "You have won the second prize in a beauty pageant." (data Monopoly Lexicon Albert Veldhuis)
