A few marbles look cool but I'm no expert. I suggest tossen a pic of em to the marble section. Some cool game pieces there look old. As for value to things like that there is a section on the forum for that. You have trolled this section long enough to know these things I think. OOO I like the 8ball!

Somebody is one checker short of a king.

Wooden Monopoly hotel? Quite the fire hazzard.

I think you can replace missing pieces in about 27 games. I have always wondered where those missing pieces went---now I know.

sorry if I offended you by posting this here
Didn't know there was a listing for game pcs
I was just looking for some input
My bad I guess
Have a nice day

Let's start a game piece forum! Could have a posting once every week or so, making it easy to keep up with.

Actually, I can't remember seeing or using a wooden monopoly house or motel. I even think that our 1962 monopoly game was plastic. We lost our thimble. Was there one in your box? Need a forum for "Do You Have an Extra?".

Im surprised there isnt a forum for game pcs
you would be surprised at how many antique game pcs are out there
and were talking old ....
I vote for a new forum

hey Brady u didnt offend me I hope I didnt offend U.U asked for values for these items. U made a cluster fu%& picture. All I was saying is if u want a value for things yes there is a section for that. This is the whats it section. I think most people that sit here dont wanna research prices on things u should already have done yourself.

Do you notice that you have over 1000 post? Filled with crap. You never bring a pic or anything to make a decent I.D. When U toss in rediculous post like this I'll make a reply like u would have done. Get a metal detector yo.

I think the game pieces are very cool and are definitely in the appropriate forum.
Some people have nothing to show, so they have to make rude comments. Keep posting your historical items Bradyboy that's what this site is all about.

deftone, borrow a camera, so we can see your Awesome digs?

 

[bradyboy]

Thanks for the positive input
These were found sitting in an old wicker basket in a cellar. ( select a partial selection of what I found)
I can identify some of the items, some are a mystery.
Most fascinating are the wood monoploy houses and hotels in great condition

Looks like some Polyanna game pieces in the group as well.

I was a child at the age to play those board-games in the 1950s. Thus I can testify that High Plains Digger is correct in two of his guesses.
The two are:
The black plastic disc with a crown on its center is definitely from the game of Checkers. The other side of the disc lacks the crown. In the 1950s I played checkers using gamepieces which were absolutely-identical to that one.
Those are indeed the Monopoly game's houses & hotels, from the 1930s-to-about-1950, before the wooden ones were replaced with molded plastic ones. In doing research for this reply, I found a Monopoly game for sale on Ebay, said to be from the 1950s, which has the wooden houses & hotels. The photo below is from that Ebay auction. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-195...042?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c5f0cb00a

The large green plastic discs with ray-shaped ridges around the disc's edge are poker-chips. Even though I haven't played Poker in about 25 years, I still own some 100%-identical chips. They came in the colors of red, blue, green, and white, to represent different dollar-denominations (or in my house, pennies, nickles, dimes, and quarters).

The six-armed grey metal object is a Jack from the game Balls-&-Jacks. It is probably also from about the 1940s/50s, because although the jack's form hasn't changed since then, the ones from more recent decades come in various colors instead of just plain grey metal.

The simple plain unpainted wooden "Hershey's Kiss" with a knob on top is very probably a Pawn from an ultra-cheap Chess game.

Hill Billy is probably correct in thinking that the similar knob-topped pieces are from the Pollyanna game, or one similar to it. The Pollyanna game had nearly-identical red, yellow, green, and blue pieces. Several versions of Pollyanna game are for sale on Ebay, but I couldn't find any whose pieces exactly match the very-similar pieces posted by Bradyboy.

Here's the photo of the 1930s-to-about-1950 wooden Monopoly houses & hotels.

here you go CBG the only pic I could find.

 

[bradyboy]

Thanks cannonball, great info
its all I was asking for, just some IDs
Still irritated by the one member thats been blasting me on this post and my whistle post.
I wonder of the wood pcs could be from an old sorry game?
Brady

 

[High Plains Digger]

CBG: You found my thimble! Send it on to me, would ya? I don't remember the cannon. That is too cool, and too appropriate for you. I found a little dog while I was out digging once. I think that is the only marker I have found.

There may be a couple of "Sorry" pieces in there, also. If I am wrong, then SORRY. Could the matching marbles come from a Chinese checker set in the thin tin "can" game board? And the 8 ball could be from a carrom set.

I was going to make all these guesses earlier but I was shocked and appalled by the brutal attack from the alley.

Sorry HPD, I don't have it, because I did not place a bid. I gave you a chance to get it, cheap, by posting the link to that Ebay auction. I hope you were the sole bidder who won the complete game-set for a measly $9.95.

> I don't remember the cannon. That is too cool, and too appropriate for you.

Yeah, when I played Monopoly back in the late 1950s-to-early-1960s, my avatar was always either the cannon or the battleship.
