This is a very
RARE copy of the 1935 Patent Pending Monopoly game. This is after they trademarked the game and applied for the US Patent but had yet to receive a patent number. This game is nearly complete and in amazing condition! It is 89 years old.
Features of this set:
This contains the very rare third variation of the TRADEMARK rules. They had some left over from the trademark only games and put them in the first sets of the PATENT PENDING games. These are VERY RARE.

There are five tokens. It is MISSING the For a Good Girl Thimble. It does however have the short war ship, the civil war cannon, the hat with a hole, the boot, and the iron. These are made with a zinc alloy called zamak and earned a dark oxidization over time from the impurities in the metal. These impurities were eliminated by the late thirties making these piece quite RARE
