About this Item
Description:
Springfield: Milton Bradley Company 1936 [c. MCMXXXVI]. Poor. 1936. Card Game. Literary card game [Milton Bradley No. 4005], alas only a partial set. Only the [badly damaged, missing some of its sides] box lid [with all the rules of the game printed on the inside panel] is present, along with most of the card deck [there should apparently be four different story title cards for each author]. Present are #1 Shakespeare 4 cards, #2 Scott 1 card, #3 Macaulay 2 cards, #4 Dickens 4 cards, #5 Thackeray 3 cards, #6 Tennyson 4 cards, #7 Longfellow 4 cards, #8 Lowell 4 cards, #9 Holmes 4 cards, and #10 Burns 4 cards. [I've noted one other similar game set on-line, but it lists only three cards for each author and the Milton Bradley number is given as 4008 rather than as 4005.] . Seller Inventory # 19278
