Details

This box was probably issued for its 35th anniversary. On the lid is a metal shield on which the red Monopoly bar, the square with Clipper and the ref. number 605. The plate is clamped to the inside of the lid. The other part of the case contains a preformed padding for the banknotes as well as the houses and hotels, the property cards, the Chance and Community Chest cards, the dice and the tokens. In contrast to the American version, there are no transparent caps that cover the banknotes. The game board, with red back, mentions as the latest copyright date 1961 and the word Monopoly is in closed, black letters, without frame in the middle of the playing field. The 32 houses and 12 hotels are made of white plastic (sometimes also white wood) with resp. a green and red roof. (This version of the houses and hotels is more common during this period, also in German, French and American versions.) They must be kept in the case in specially provided slots. The Monopoly banknotes (50x95 mm) are marked “pat.app.for N ° 3796-36”. There are 10 metal tokens and 4 pairs of red (with yellow pips) and white (with black pips) dice, presumably a different pair for each of 4 players. The sign is “Printed in France” but the case was most likely made by Dow in America. (data Monopoly Lexicon Albert Veldhuis)
