Question

How much would a monopoly game with a paper board and wooden hotels & houses is worth... year unknown?

Answer 1

Probaby no more than $2 or $3, if it's complete and in excellent condition. I imagine that even if you don't play board games, it's worth more than that just to have it, because its oldness is kind of cool.

Can I have the little hat player's piece? That was always my favorite.

Answer 2

Around 150 to 250$$$$$$$$ I looked it up

Answer 3

Like everything else, it is worth what someone will  pay you for it.  If you can't find a buyer for it, it is worth nothing. If you find two people who both really want it, you might get much more for it than it is "worth".   If there is an antique store in your area take it in there and ask about it.  You might also check to see if you can find one like it on ebay and see what it sells for.   Best of luck with it.

Answer 4

nothing, because i'll set it on fire.

Answer 5

pricelist

Answer 6

I would assume almost nothing.  Who would buy that if you can already buy them brand new for under $20.  My advice is, just put it up on ebay and find out.

Answer 7

Sell it on Ebay and find out...If still in mint condition,,try getting hold of Parker Brothers and see what they have to say about it.

Answer 8

Depends on what the box looks like. What does it look like? Remember that Hasbro released a "Vintage Edition" that had a reprint of the 1957 box art. It came in a wooden box. An authentic one would have been cardboard. They started making them in 1935.

I copied this from the web it describes the various Monopoly Games through 1940 or so

:

1934 Charles B. Darrow oil cloth with components in tie boxes.

1934 Charles B. Darrow 23" board with components in tie boxes.

1934 Charles B. Darrow White Box.

1935 Charles B. Darrow Small Black Box.

1935 Parker Brothers Trade Mark.

1935 Patent Pending.

Nov. 1935 to Jan. 1936 - 1,509,312 Patent Game.

Jan. 1936 to 1941 - 1,509,312 - 2,026,082 Patents Game.

1937 to Dec. 31, 1952 - 2,026,082 Patent Game.

The First Edition Charles B. Darrow White Box Game used a unique style of money which has the value amount in the center only. (See Photo Gallery)

The 2nd Edition Charles B. Darrow Game, which is the smaller Black Box, used money that not only has the value in the center, but also in each corner of the bill. Important to note that the $500 bills are Salmon (Pink) in color. (See Photo Gallery)

This style of money including the Salmon $500's were then used by Parker Brothers in their early Trade Mark Sets. (See Photo Gallery)

Later Trade Mark sets and most Patent Pending sets continued to use this style money, with the exception that the Salmon $500's were changed to Goldenrod. (See Photo Gallery)

Parker Brothers Trade Mark Game Instructions were used for both Trade Mark and Patent Pending Games. Recently, a set of Patent Pending game instructions has been discovered, see gallery. These are extremely rare. There are also two hybrid sets of 1935 instructions that were the earliest to be used by Parker Brothers (see gallery).

The 1935 Parker Brothers Trade Mark Set was the first set to have Playing Tokens - they were made of pewter. The tokens were the same charms as Cracker Jack used and were made by the same company, Dowst, out of Chicago. The Dowst Company invented die casting and also made the first die cast cars ... Tootsietoys!

Wooden tokens were put into use in late spring 1936 and not just for WWII during the metal shortage.

Composite tokens made of compressed paper and sawdust were made during WWII and used just after the War. Some collectors also say plastic was used. These tokens resembled a car, pig, train, cannon, elephant, iron, dog, bathtub, shoe, battleship, tank, horse & rider, figher plane (rare), and a DC-3 cargo plane (very rare).

The copyright date on the instructions is not necessarily the manufacture date of the game. The copyright date can actually cover several different editions and manufacture years.

Early game editions have the Copyright 1933 Chas. B. Darrow in the Jail Square. The 1934 and 1935 Charles B. Darrow Games had this copyright. When Darrow sold the game rights to the game to Parker Brothers in 1935, all the Parker Brothers Games from 1935 to 1941 maintained the Darrow Copyright in the board Jail Square.

Property Cards

The first Darrow Property Cards were relatively simple with printing on a colored cardboard and blank backs. The 2nd Generation Darrow Black Box initiated the card style we see today. The 2nd Generation Black Box cards are the only ones that have a matching colored line border - the rest have a black line border. From the 2nd Generation Black Box to the early 1,509,312 Patent game the property cards have blank backs.

Marvin Gardens $22 rent is in every set prior to 1951. Yes, this was an error, but THIS IS NOT A RARE PROPERTY CARD.

Game Dice

The original 1934 Darrow Game had 3/8 inch Silver colored hollow metal dice with punched holes.

The 1935 2nd Generation Darrow Game is the only Monopoly Game set that used 3/8 inch BONE DICE.

From the 1935 Trade Mark set into the 1940’s, mostly white bakelite dice were used. I have also seen wooden dice (both natural and red in color) and green or red bakelite dice.
