Details

Estimated year. There is now an exclamation mark behind the title. However, there is no mention of Spear Games on the box anymore. Next to the abbreviation D.R.G.M. (Deutsches Reich Gebrauchs Muster) also has the abbreviation J.F.S.M., which stands for the original German inventor of the Mensch Ärgere Dich Nicht, Josef Friedrich Schmidt, Munich who invented the game in 1905. The year is partly based on an image of this box in a Sinterklaas advertisement by Sunlight from 1928 in which this set could be obtained by exchanging 10 coupons. The box can then be recognized by its striking elongated format and the letters that almost completely fill the box. The first "e '" of "worse" is almost flush with the right side of the oval with the man. In later boxes this "e" is clearly below the oval.
