#657 Donkey - Familie Feuerstein Quartett Und Schwarzer Peter (Nr. 662) (1967)

The Vereinigte Altenburger und Stralsunder Spielkarten-Fabriken AG (short: ASS) made this beautiful deck of cards unopen to 1967. The copyright from Hanna-Barbera dates from that year, in addition to hence I gauge it was probaby manufactured unopen to that year.

The deck consists of 36 cards (6 families) in addition to 1 extra carte du jour to play Schwarzer Peter. Each familiy tells a story inwards iv cartoons amongst some text inwards the lower business office of the card. These stories bargain amongst unlike situations similar a motorcar race, flight an story or hunting a dinosaur.

The most interesting fact almost this deck is to break how the cartoons are non made past times the master copy creative someone from Hanna-Barbera, in addition to these are non taken from the TV serial or anywhere else. They conduct keep been remade past times some other artist, in addition to you lot tin say that these are non the master copy Flintstones, only a niggling flake of a fake. Despite this, ASS acre got the copyright, in addition to hence it is a legal "reinterpretation" of the master copy characters.

The game comes amongst the comprehend carte du jour in addition to some other 1 amongst the instructions printed on it. The comprehend card, on its dorsum side has a monochromatic cartoon depicting all seven principal characters amongst their names inwards German. Everything comes inwards an oversized box, much deeper than it is actuallz needed. H5N1 mutual practice, to brand the deck/game await to a greater extent than than it genuinely is.

Both models were discontinued inward 1969: the Lotus possibly afterwards the expire of Jim Clark inward 1968. The argue why the Cooper was too discontinued afterwards entirely ii years is too unknown to me... despite beingness as well as thence brusk for sale, it was sold 726,000 times.

The Seat 850 was already presented inwards 1 really early on entry I wrote for this weblog (#23). The machine presented as well as then had slightly dissimilar wheels. That white Seat is the same that appears inwards the novel pictures, for comparing purposes.

It is interesting to cite that inwards the really kickoff boxes, the cars where fixed alongside approximately form of double-sided sellotape, equally y'all tin sack run into inwards this motion painting below. With the time, that viscid band has degraded as well as has turned to approximately form of dusty stripe. This method was in all likelihood non really effective, hence it was presently replaced past times 2 pegs that would jibe the base of operations of the car. There is approximately other motion painting inwards a higher house comparing the 2 Seats 850. The xanthous 1 has no holes inwards the base, the white 1 has.
