Description

Color: Orange A set of fifty-five (55) paper game cards for the board game "Pirate and Traveler," 1936, with a 1911 copyright for the original game. The items have three characteristics: the number of points scored; the location (such as city and country) and a list of two or three products made at each location. A card, for example, may indicate to the player who draws it to stop their game piece at Perth, Australia, score ten points, and list products as wool and lead. Other cards are scored at fifteen, twenty, thirty and so on at increments of ten up to one hundred (100) points. There are also a half-dozen blank cards. The set is stored in the implement box, which is item 8. In good condition, the items have little indication of wear or damage.
