This is estate fresh - I have not cleaned it and it features it's original paint. It doesn't have any game pieces, just the gameboard as pictured.

Here's a description from The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures:

Tin Toy AEROPLANE RACE 'Round the World Fliers Gameboard WOLVERINE

Dimensions: 11 1/8" by 11 1/8"

On April 6, 1924, the Army Air Service (later named the Air Force) began the first “around-the-world” flight.  Four Douglas World Cruisers departed Washington State, heading westward for Asia by way of Alaska.  The trials and tribulations of the four planes, the Seattle, Chicago, Boston and New Orleans, captured the public’s imagination.  The Wolverine Supply and Manufacturing Company produced the Aeroplane Race ‘Round the World Fliers tin game. Armed with airplane game pieces, two to four players could spin the dial and face challenges encountered by the real pilots on their journeys.
