Catalogue information
Probably the first Stratego edition of Jumbo in the Netherlands. The difference with the second edition from 1959 can be seen in the image on the lid, which does not show a frame in this version. In addition, the game board in the third photo appears to have a white back. The lids of the storage compartments for the wooden pieces have a different shape than the later appeared boxes with the silver-colored storage compartments. The wooden pieces are larger and thicker than the later versions (30x20x10 mm), the later versions have the dimensions 28x19x8 mm On June 10, 1958, Jacques Johan Mogendorff and Jumbo signed a license agreement for the rights in Europe for the manufacture and marketing of the game Stratego. Before that, Smeets & Schippers had had these rights. Photos: Deventer Toy Museum
