Attention Monopoly collectors, restoration enthusiasts, and vintage game historians! This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial "parts lot" from an authentic 1950s–1960s Parker Brothers Monopoly game. This is not a complete, ready-to-play set in a collector's box, but rather a highly valuable and usable collection of original components perfect for completing another period set, sourcing classic pieces, or as a foundation for a restoration project.
The Lot Contains the Following Key Components:
Classic Wooden Houses & Hotels: 18 Red Wooden Hotels – The larger, cube-style "flat-top" hotels. 17 Green Wooden Houses – The smaller, cube-style houses.
(Note: Slight variations in color and wear confirm vintage production.)
Iconic Original Metal Player Tokens (6 total): Scottie Dog, Thimble, Battleship, Race Car, Wheelbarrow, Shoe.
These are the heavier, period-correct metal tokens with the classic profiles, featuring expected light tarnish and wear.
Property Title Deed Cards: A complete or very near-complete set of the standard 28 property deeds (e.g., Tennessee Avenue visible in photo). Cards show the expected yellowing and soft edges of aged paper but are intact and legible.
Chance & Community Chest Cards: Both stacks of cards are present in varied, used condition, complete with their classic period text and illustrations.
Storage: All pieces are contained in a plain brown game box bottom, which helps with organization and identifies it as a true "parts" lot.
Why This is a Valuable Lot for Collectors:
Authentic "Golden Age" Parts: The combination of wooden buildings and the six specific metal tokens definitively dates these parts to the highly desirable pre-1970s era of Monopoly production.
Restorer's Dream: This lot is ideal for completing an incomplete vintage set missing houses, hotels, or tokens. The deeds and cards can also serve as replacements.
Instant "Upgrade" Kit: Modernize a later set with these classic, tactile wood and metal components.
Display & Craft Potential: The tokens and wooden pieces are themselves iconic and make for fantastic shadowbox displays, jewelry, or mixed-media art for game enthusiasts.
Sold As-Is for Utility: This lot is honestly described as "Fair" condition—showing clear wear, tarnish, and age—which is reflected in the price. It is sold for parts, restoration, and collectible value, not as a pristine, display-ready game.
Condition Summary (As Seen):
All flaws are consistent with 60+ years of age and use, confirming authenticity.
Perfect for: The Monopoly specialist looking for original parts, the vintage game seller, the crafter, or the hobbyist who values historic components over pristine packaging.
