BG-2026.0117Description
While this set is unmarked, its virtually unused condition strongly suggests this set has survived as originally sold, with the AP Games instruction booklet as well as the familiar design elements identifying it as an Arthur Popper creation. The cube style, the bowl-style carved checkers, the dotted points, and the bakelite handle are all typical AP Games elements. The set locks with the familiar levered clasps of the day.Made/Created
